Ordering a custom cake for the first time can feel like a mystery, but the process is simpler than most people expect. At Celebrations by Sonja, every order follows the same friendly path from your first call to the moment you pick up your cake. Here is how it works, step by step.
Step 1: Reach out with your date
Start by calling Sonja at (417) 840-3883 or sending a message through the website. Let her know your event date, the occasion, and a rough guest count. Popular weekends in Springfield fill up, especially during wedding and holiday seasons, so reaching out early helps protect your date.
Step 2: Book your free tasting
Every order includes a free tasting, and it is the heart of the process. You will sit down with Sonja, sample the flavors, buttercream, and real-fruit fillings, and talk through the look you have in mind. There is no charge and no pressure, just a chance to find the combination you love.
Step 3: Design and confirm your cake
Once you know your flavors, Sonja helps you settle the details. Together you will decide on:
- Size and servings. Sized to your guest count so nothing goes to waste.
- Design. Colors, style, tiers, and any special touches.
- Your quote. A clear, all-in price with no guesswork.
When everything looks right, a deposit reserves your date on the calendar.
Step 4: Pick up your fresh cake
Sonja bakes your cake close to your event so it arrives fresh, never sitting in a case for days. She will confirm pickup details with you ahead of time, and your finished cake will be ready to be the centerpiece of the celebration.
