Direct answer
Most birthday cakes need 2 to 4 days. Weddings need 7 to 10 days because of tastings and design. Festival weeks book out a fortnight in advance. We can sometimes do same-day for simple flavours.
Lead time is the question that drives everything else. We can do extraordinary things in three days. We can do okay things in a few hours. The honest answer to 'when do you need it' is the most useful answer we ever get.
Birthday cakes are usually a 2 to 4 day conversation. We ask about the person, the occasion, the flavour they actually love. We send two design directions on WhatsApp. You pick. We bake the day before. The cake arrives the morning of.
Weddings need 7 to 10 days because tastings are involved. We hold two tasting rounds, share the cake design as a sketch, lock the flavour, then bake the morning before the event. Setup happens at the venue, quietly, before guests arrive.
Anniversary cakes are a 3 to 5 day window. We design at a smaller scale on purpose. A 500g cake that feels considered beats a 2 kg cake that doesn't.
Festival weeks are the exception. Diwali, Pongal, Christmas, and Eid each book out 10 to 14 days ahead. If you know your date, block the slot early.
