This depends on the number of people you want to feed. Typically a 4 inch, two layer cake feeds 1-4 people. A six inch cake, three layer cake feeds 10-15 people. An eight inch, three layer cake feeds 20-30, and a ten inch, three layer cake feeds 35-45 people. I usually make my cakes three layers, this is customizable.

Do you offer vegan/dairy-free/gluten-free items?
YES! I actually love doing cakes for people who typically do not get to enjoy them. I do my best to offer a range of choices. Everything I make is Kosher, and pork free. The vanilla usually work with is alcohol based, I do have halal vanilla that can easily be swapped. Please do make all requests and allergies known at time of booking. I cannot guarantee that an item has not crossed paths with an allergen.
How much notice to do need for an order?
Minimum notice for a cake is three days, cupcakes are one day. However, shorter notice an be accommodated for a small fee.
How do I get my order?
Great question, delivery is available in PEC. A $15 fee applies to locations outside of the county.
What is your cancellation policy?
In the unfortunate event that you need to cancel your order, please give me as much advanced notice as possible. Within 24-hours of ordering, full refund (if your order date is more than 24-hours away). If after 24-hours of ordering, then deposit is non-refundable. I do understand situation arise, I try to start on your order right away, to spend as much time as I can perfecting it.
How do I pay for my order?
I accept cash or e-transfer (info@halfkanga.ca). A deposit of 50% is due upon booking to secure the order. If this deposit is not received within 24 hours then your order is not secured. The second half of payment is due the day before your order date. You can also purchase more “simple”, less specific options here on the website.
How do I transport and serve my baked goods?
For travel, place on floor of vehicle with air conditioning on / no heat. Should not sit at an angle. No refunds will be given for goods that break or melt after pick-up/delivery. Please refrigerate, take out one hour before serving, and let sit at room temperature. Butter hardens in the fridge, this allows the butter in your goods to soften.
