Made-to-order bakery
Ordering guide
La Bouchée is an online dessert studio without a walk-in storefront. This guide explains the usual process; your written quote or order confirmation controls the details for your specific order.
1. Request a quote
- Share the event date, guest count, products, flavors, design direction, and fulfillment city or ZIP.
- For custom cakes and larger events, contacting us at least 10 days ahead is recommended. Earlier is better for busy dates.
- A request is not a confirmed order. Availability and final pricing are confirmed in writing.
2. Review and confirm
- Review the product, quantity or servings, design, price, date, and fulfillment details before paying.
- Any deposit, balance due date, change deadline, cancellation terms, or refund eligibility will be stated in the written quote or confirmation.
- Ask about any unclear term before confirming the order.
Payment
Accepted methods include cash, Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, and major credit or debit cards. The required payment schedule can vary by order and will be included in your confirmation.
Do not send payment until availability and order details have been confirmed.
Delivery, pickup, and shipping
- Pickup in Los Gatos is by appointment after confirmation.
- Bay Area delivery depends on the date, address, order size, and schedule. Any fee is quoted before confirmation.
- Toot, Kolompeh, Almond Queen, Rice Cookies, Chickpea Pastry, Walnut Cookie, and Pistachio Bites can be shipped within California. Cakes and perishable desserts are not presented as shipping products.
Allergen notice
The kitchen handles wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and other allergens. All tools and equipment are washed and cleaned after use, but they are shared across products. Cross-contact is possible even when a recipe does not include a particular allergen. We do not have the separate tools and controls required to guarantee an allergen-free product. We cannot accommodate orders that require allergen-free preparation, so allergy details are not requested as part of the quote process.
Read the gluten-free ingredient noticeChanges and product care
- Request changes as early as possible. Feasibility and any price effect depend on whether ingredients, decorations, or production work have begun.
- Keep Persian pastries in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Follow any additional product-specific storage and serving directions supplied with your order.
- Keep decorated cakes in a cool indoor location and coordinate warm-venue timing before the event.
