What information should I send a baker to get a cake quote?

A cake photo does not tell the baker how many people you need to serve, when the cake is required or where it needs to go. A complete first message reduces back-and-forth and makes the quote more accurate.

Short answer

For a useful cake quote, send the celebration date, required size or approximate servings, pickup or delivery area, preferred design or reference, flavour preference and the wording or age if relevant. These details let Moh Bakes price the real order instead of guessing from a photo alone.

Lead with the non-negotiable details

Date, size requirement and location are practical constraints. Send them before discussing minor decoration so the bakery can first establish whether the order is workable.

  • Date and target time
  • Size or guest count
  • Pickup or delivery area

Then explain the cake direction

Share a Moh Bakes design page or another permitted reference, plus the occasion, colours, flavour and wording. Say what you like about the reference instead of assuming every detail must be copied.

  • Occasion
  • Design or style
  • Colours
  • Message or name

Expect custom pricing from the full brief

Moh Bakes confirms custom cake pricing from size, flavour, decoration, date and pickup or delivery location. A quote based on those details is more meaningful than a guessed fixed price attached to an inspiration image.
