Welcome to our "To -Go" Cake Tasting!

Once you've tried the tastings in the comfort of your own home, more in depth details can be discussed via a scheduled phone consultation or email. We’ve found this process to be more personable and convenient, as our shop does get quite busy.

  • What is the pickup time for cake tastings on my selected Saturday?
    Cake tastings may be picked up on your pre-scheduled Saturday during our business hours of 10AM-6PM.
  • How many servings does a cake tasting feed? How are they served?
    Each tasting comes with 5 samples in a variety of flavor combinations, depending on what cake tasting you select. Each sample is made up of two layers of cake, layered with filling, and each sample flavor serves 2-3 people. Each sample comes packaged in compostable containers with lids, and should be enjoyed within 48 hours of your "to-go" pickup.
  • I’m interested in a different flavor than what is offered in the cake tasting. What should I do?
    All of our cake samples offered in the tasting are our most popular flavor combinations. Although we love complex flavor profiles, it’s HBG style to offer classic flavor combinations.
  • We love chocolate cake. Does this mean our cake will be brown?
    Great question! No, not necessarily. Most of our cake designs are either white or have various colors on the outside the cake. This means the outside layer of buttercream will be vanilla, however the actual cake and cake filling can certainly be chocolate. If you’re OK with a brown cake, we’re more than happy to provide chocolate buttercream on the outside of the cake.
  • We are ordering a vegan cake, however we keep seeing the word “buttercream”. Help!
    In commerce and with baker lingo, you will occasionally see the word “buttercream” used for vegan goods. Please be advised this is a generic term (like icing, frosting, etc.) and rest assured, your desserts will be vegan.
  • How do I get a quote for my cake?
    Once you’ve tried our cake samples and have fallen in love with our products, please review our Custom Cake Guide tab on our website. Once we have a clear vision of your cake, we can help with providing a quote. Alternatively, you're more than welcome to order a predesigned cake off our website. We have multiple options for weddings.
  • I have additional questions, what should I do?
    Please reach out to our team at hello@hollywoodbakedgoods.com.
  • Do you have a storefront?
    Yes! Come in for a daily selection of treats.
  • How do I place an order?
    On our website there is an “Order Now” tab. There is a drop down menu if you’d like to filter your search. If you are placing a custom cake order, you need to review the "Custom Cake Guide" section and follow the instructions. All payment and cancellation policies will be handled electronically. We do not process or confirm any orders in our store front to ensure order accuracy. Orders are not confirmed and put on onto our production schedule until payment and the cancellation policy are received.
  • How far in advance do I need to place the order?
    Orders need to be received 3 business days prior to your pickup date for anything on our website. For example, you want a Saturday pickup, orders need to be received by 6PM on Wednesday. Orders of large size or custom cakes need to be finalized, paid for, and with a completed cancellation policy 7 days prior to the pickup date. We do have a large amount of daily items in our Kirkland store front for purchase if you are needing something not within that timeframe, however preorders are always encouraged.
  • What is your address?
    We are located at 12815 NE 124th St. Suite Q Kirkland, WA. We are located in the Totem Lake Business Park in Suite Q.
  • What are your business hours?
    We are open 10AM-6PM Monday-Saturday, and 11AM-4PM on Sunday. Holidays may affect these hours.
  • Where are you located?
    We are in the Totem Lake Business Park off NE 124th Ave and Slater in Kirkland. We are directly across the street from the Dodge Jeep Ram dealership. We are in the same complex as Dyson, Fena Flowers, and Savage Brewing.
  • Do you deliver?
    Yes, under certain circumstances. This would be a custom request, and we do require a minimum order of $500 prior to the delivery fee. Delivery subject to bakery availability.
  • Do you create custom cupcakes, cake pops, and cakes?
    Depending on the item, absolutely. We enjoy custom projects, and are happy to discuss your vision. We are capable of custom piping, custom coloring, and can print most images or logos on edible toppers. At this time we do not work with fondant, gum paste, sugar flowers, natural dyes, half cakes, sheet cakes, or shaped cakes beyond heart shaped cakes. Please inquire for details and rates.
  • Do you offer mini or jumbo cupcakes? What size are your cupcakes?
    At this time, we do not offer mini or jumbo sized cupcakes. Our cupcakes are a standard size.
  • Do you offer platter/stand rentals?
    At this time we do not offer any rental options. We would recommend CORT Party Rentals, or Grand Event Rentals.
  • Do you provide labels or ingredients lists for items?
    If items contain dietary restricted items such as Gluten Free, Vegan, Eggless, and/or Gluten Free & Vegan this will be labeled with a sticker on the product when it leaves our bakery. Additional signage for display purposes would need to be provided by the customer. Additionally, ingredients lists for products will not be provided unless previously requested via email.
  • What is the difference between "Funfetti" and "Birthday Cake"?
    Funfetti is vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles mixed into the batter, which creates colorful spots throughout the cake once baked. Birthday cake is the exact same as Funfetti with the addition of almond extract. Please note any nut/almond allergens when purchasing something labeled "Birthday Cake".
  • Do you accept AI generated cake mockups?
    Yes, however we prefer to work off real inspiration photos. AI generated photos do not always translate into real life cakes, and that expectation has to be understood during the ordering process.
  • Do you work with fondant or gum paste?
    No. All of our cakes are made with American style buttercream that’s made from scratch in our bakery. We do not create any figurines, flowers, or additional decorations with gum paste or fondant in house. With that being said, with advanced notice it is possible we can source a fondant topper or something similar. We do encourage customers to reach out at least 3 weeks in advance to allow for production and shipping.
  • Can a recipe be modified? For example: Lower sugar, omitting an ingredient?
    No. All of our recipes are tried and true to the HBG brand.
  • Does HBG work with natural dyes?
    HBG has been discussing the possibility of offering natural grade alternatives, and are still in the research phase of possibly introducing this. We’ve encountered a few obstacles which mostly are related to availability and unfortunately massive costs differences. Research and testing is also part of this process and how the alternatives translate to our products. We wish it was so simple, but to stay tried and true to the HBG brand, it’s still in the works.
  • Do you accept outside recipes? For example, a customer provides a recipe for us to bake?
    As much as we would love the opportunity, unfortunately we do not. All of our recipes are tried and true to the HBG brand for quality standards.
  • What kind of chocolate cake and buttercream do you make?
    We use a combination of light and dark chocolate in equal parts.
  • Can you dye the cake layers?
    No, we cannot. We've found this compromises the texture of the cake.
  • Do you create flower arrangements on your cakes?
    We work closely with a local florist that can provide real flowers for cakes. These are subject to seasonal availability and various colors, varieties, and types of flowers are not guaranteed.
  • Do you make shaped cakes?
    Beyond our standard round cakes, and heart cakes, we do not offer any additional shaped cakes.
  • Do you make sheet cakes?
    We do not. If you are wanting more simple cakes for additional servings, this is something that can be ordered.
  • What is a cake "tier"? What is a cake "layer"?
    Cake "layers" are the individual, horizontal sections of a cake, while cake "tiers" are the complete vertical sections of a multi-tiered cake. When cakes appear to be stacked on top of each other, this is an example of a multi-tiered cake. HBG offers Two Tiered Cakes in 6"+8", 6"+10" and 8"+10" and Three Tiered Cakes in 6"+8"+10".
  • How are your cakes made?
    All of our cakes come with three (3) cake layers, and two fill layers of either buttercream or fruit filling.
  • What fruit fillings do you offer?
    Lemon curd, raspberry, strawberry, and cherry. These are not available on vegan cakes, or vegan & gluten free cakes. These fillings are considered jams, jellies, and/or curds, and we do not work with fresh fruit.
  • What kind of buttercream do you offer?
    We make an American style buttercream from scratch at our bakery. Available flavors are chocolate, vanilla, and cream cheese (as a filling) for our cakes.
  • What cake flavors do you offer?
    Choices for cake flavors are chocolate, vanilla, funfetti, red velvet or carrot cake. Options may vary depending on vegan and/or dietary modifications. Please be advised "Funfetti" is vanilla with the addition of rainbow sprinkles- no additional flavor profiles apply to this cake. Our carrot cake does contain golden raisins.
  • How many people does a 4” cake feed?
    In general 1-4 people. We also call this cake size a "mini" or "smash" cake. This size can be ordered directly on our website in simple designs. 4" cake sizes can sometimes be customizable, but due to their petite size, cannot be heavily decorated.
  • How many people does a 6” cake feed?
    In general 6-12 people. This size can be ordered directly on our website in a variety of dietary modifications and designs.

    6" + 8" +10" are quite large. In general, we recommend a cake of this size being delivered. You are always more than welcome to pickup the cake at our shop. There will be a required $25 Box Fee for a 6" + 8" +10" cake pickup.
  • How do I place a non-custom cake order online?
    On our website there is an “Order Now” tab. There is a drop down menu and filter by “Cakes”. Cake orders need to be received 3 business days prior to your pickup date. For example, you want a cake for a Saturday pickup, orders need to be received by 6PM on Wednesday.
  • Can I sample cake prior to a cake purchase?
    Potential customers are more than welcome to come into the shop and purchase a cupcake or cake cup. This will be a good indication of what the cake will be like, but small variations are to be expected. Alternatively you're more than welcome to register for a monthly cake tasting here. This needs to be done in advance, and only available monthly so please plan accordingly.
