Subject: Cake for Emily's Party

Hi Sarah,

Hope you're doing well!

I'm trying to plan Emily's 30th birthday party for next Saturday, September 23rd. I want to order a custom cake from Sweet Delights Bakery, and I was looking at their ordering guide.

We're expecting around 15-18 guests, so the cake needs to be big enough for that. Emily absolutely loves chocolate cake, but she also has a dairy allergy, so that's a crucial point. I'd love to get some edible flowers on it, as she loves gardening.

Could you take a look at the guide and let me know a few things? First, can we even pick up a cake on a Saturday, considering the notice period? Also, what would be the total estimated cost for a cake that fits these requirements (size, chocolate, dairy-free, edible flowers)? And what about the deposit?

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I've checked the guide. Good news, we can definitely pick up the cake on Saturday, September 23rd, as long as you order it by .

However, there's a slight issue with Emily's preferences. While a large cake for 16-20 guests is $85, and edible flowers are an extra $10, her chocolate preference combined with the dairy allergy isn't directly supported. The bakery only offers dairy-free options for Lemon or Red Velvet cakes.

If we go with a Large Lemon (dairy-free) cake with edible flowers, the total cost would be . This means you'd need to pay a deposit of when placing the order.

Let me know what you'd like to do!

Best,
Sarah
