Where can I order a birthday cake in Webster Groves?

Straub's and Cravings Gourmet are two Webster Groves businesses to contact about a birthday cake. Straub's discusses custom cake orders, while Cravings Gourmet publishes layer cake and dessert information. Ask each about the size, design and collection date you need.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Give the birthday date, preferred collection day, number of servings and the type of cake you want. A reference picture can communicate a style, but ask which elements the bakery can actually provide. Describe lettering separately so names and messages can be checked before production.

How far ahead should I ask?

Straub's FAQ says specialty items and custom cakes can require several days' notice. Confirm the lead time for your specific order; a complex design or busy holiday period may have different availability. An inquiry alone should not be treated as an accepted order.

What needs to be agreed before paying?

Confirm the size, flavor, decoration, price, collection location and cancellation terms. Discuss dietary requirements directly and ask whether the requested cake is suitable. Keep the written order details so the decoration and pickup instructions are available when you collect it.
