Ordering an ice cream cake

Question

Is it better to pre-order a ice cream cake or just buy it that day? I want to pre-order it from baskin robbins and I want it by next Thursday so which day should I pre-order it? Basically what I'm asking is how long do they take to make a cake if you pre-order it so I know when to pre-order it. I tried calling the number but the one near my house is closed today and I really need the info so I can make plans. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

They make fresh cakes daily so if you walk in and ask last minute they do have them. But keep in mind if you can give them a days notice they can already have what you want written on it. It saves the wait.

Answer 2

They don't need all that much time, but if you order it and give them extra time that's ok too.  

They are pros at this and don't need tons of lead time on orders...but if it's a bulk order they would need a couple weeks so they can schedule things properly.  If you are able to get to them tomorrow to set up what you need, you should be fine.

Answer 3

pre-order b/c then they have it already made and you can get the exact cake you wanted because they cuold've ran out of the one you want

Answer 4

PREORDER or they mite run out or they wil forget PREOREDER or face the consiquences

Answer 5

i think ice cream cake will be too fatty... dont get the cake... eat a granolla bar instead

Answer 6

i got one from cold stone and it was like 24 hours notice...but you can probably order it that day...but definatly order it's better to do that than not and not have it...or try a differnat ice cream place

Answer 7

pre order it so that they can make the one you want, and you wont end up with the ones they have already made

Answer 8

I would definitely pre-order so that you get exactly what ou want.  Otherwise, you're usually stuck picking from what they have in the case.  About a week in advance is usually about right.

Answer 9

I think you should just PRE-ORDER it before the birthday so that everything will be ready!

Answer 10

It is better to preorder, it won't take them that long you may be able to order in the morning and pick it up later that after noon

Answer 11

UH try calling Baskin Robins themselves...they'll be able to answer your questions better than we can....every store may be a little different...but I'd at least pre-order 48 hours in advance.

btw: in my opinion coldstone is better...not suggesting you change your plans but you may want to check them out in the future..hope your party is a success!

Answer 12

I would pre order giving them 48 hours in case they are booked esp since it is sooooo hot

Enjoy and YUMMY
