custom cake request form

Yip.Studio is a cake atelier based in New York specializing in bespoke mossy and carved rock cakes with a special interest in surrealist object as edible art.

Each work is conceived as a composition - balancing structure, texture, proportion, and fresh materials. Fruit and florals are sculptural elements. No two cakes are ever identical.

The Process

Cake layers and components are prepared the evening before pick-up to ensure optimal freshness and decorated on the day of the event - a process that takes several hours or more depending on the complexity and scale of the design.

Many designs incorporate fresh fruit and florals. These materials shift with the season. Specific varieties cannot be guaranteed year-round, and the studio reserves the right to select the freshest and most visually harmonious alternatives when necessary.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and respect the organic nature of the work.

Commissions & Booking

Orders are typically placed 2–4 weeks in advance.

Full payment is required to secure your date.
Quotes are valid for 48 hours.

If payment is not received within that window, the date is released.

Due to scheduling and sourcing constraints, design or flavor changes cannot be accommodated within 7 days of pick-up.

Yip.Studio accepts a limited number of commissions per day (1–5 depending on scale). Cakes range from intimate gatherings to events exceeding 250 servings.

Rush Commissions

Orders placed within 7 days of the event, or during fully booked periods, may incur a rush fee of $75–$150 for standard-scale cakes.

Rush acceptance is at the discretion of the studio.

Transport & Care

Cakes are refrigerated prior to release and are stable for travel up to one hour by car or train.

For travel exceeding 45 minutes — especially during warmer months — ice packs or extended refrigeration prior to pick-up are recommended.

For optimal presentation and texture, cakes should be served at room temperature - usually within a 2-4 hours of pick up or delivery. Care instructions will be provided with the cake. If you’re unsure, please ask.

All florals must be fully removed before serving.

Cancellations

Cancellations within 24 hours of confirmation are fully refundable.

After 24 hours, 50% of payment is retained to cover sourcing and studio time.

No cancellations, changes, or postponements can be accommodated within 72 hours of pick-up.
