What to Ask When Planning a Bakery Order for an Event

A simple order brief helps a bakery understand your event. Start with your guest count, serving date and pickup window, then ask what is available for your date and how the treats should be stored.

Describe the event and the people you are serving

Share the date, approximate number of guests, and whether the treats are dessert, a snack, or gifts to take home. If guests will choose from several flavours, ask how each item is packaged and whether separate boxes can be arranged. Check availability rather than assuming every item can be mixed into one box.

Ask about ingredients and dietary needs

Tell the bakery about any allergies or dietary restrictions before ordering. Ask for the ingredients in the specific products and whether cross-contact with allergens is possible. Do not assume a flavour name or appearance tells you everything about its ingredients. For a severe allergy, make a decision based on the bakery's specific response and the guest's needs.

Confirm quantity, timing and storage

Ask what quantities each item is sold in, the total cost, the available pickup time and how long the treats should be kept. If you need labels or individual packaging, ask whether those options are offered. Allow time between pickup and the event for transport and setup.

Use the current menu as a starting point

Our current menu lists Filipino-inspired treats, including cookies and buns. Pickup details are confirmed after an order is sent. Items and availability can change, so check the menu and contact KC before finalizing an event plan.
