To place an order, we recommend using our website for a hassle-free experience. Online ordering is open 24/7 for your convenience! Same-day orders are available for certain products, and you can also plan ahead by ordering in advance. Please note that phone orders require upfront payment. Additionally, you may also visit us in person to place an order.

If you encounter issues scheduling your order at checkout, please be aware that all orders automatically default to the next available pick-up date and time. To choose a different schedule, simply click the "Edit" button next to the order date during the checkout process. This will allow you to select the specific date and time that suits your preferences.

When ordering desserts and cakes from Catalina's Sweet Atelier, we do not provide setup services. However, if you have ordered a full-service dessert station, we will handle the setup for you. Our setup fee starts at $150 per hour and includes arranging all dessert items on existing cake stands or those rented from us.

While we appreciate your interest, we recommend contacting us via phone, email, or in person to place your order. Direct messages on Instagram are not the fastest way to ensure your order is processed promptly.

The timing for placing your order depends on its nature:

• Small Orders: Can often be placed 2 hours before the event and sometimes even the same day.
• Standard Products: Typically require 1-2 days’ notice. However, during busy periods, such as weekends, availability may be limited.
• Large Orders: It's best to place these at least 1-2 weeks in advance.

You can order online up to 30 days prior to your event. For holidays and peak times of the year, we may temporarily stop online ordering, so planning ahead is always recommended.

For online orders, full payment is required at the time of purchase. For custom cakes and dessert tables ordered via phone or email and placed well in advance, a 50% deposit is required to secure your spot in our calendar. The remaining balance is usually due one week prior to the event.

There is no minimum spending requirement, but some desserts do have a minimum quantity. Mini desserts are generally ordered by the dozen, with a few flavors requiring a minimum order of 2 dozen.

You can pick up your order at the time specified at checkout or later within our business hours if needed. If you need to pick up your order ahead of schedule, please call us to check if it can be accommodated.

Yes! We offer local delivery through a trusted third-party service. At checkout, just select “Delivery” to see pricing and available time windows. While we can’t promise an exact time, you’ll be able to choose the range that works best for you. Please ensure someone is home to receive the order, as our desserts are perishable and cannot be left outside. For special delivery requests, just reach out—we’re happy to help.

Yes, we offer gluten-friendly options. However, please be aware that all products are baked in a shared kitchen and on shared equipment with products containing gluten, so we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination will not occur.

Some of our naturally gluten-free cakes include Crocante de Fresas, Pavlova de Fresas, and Fondant au Chocolat. For mini desserts, you can select from Merenguitos, assorted truffles, and certain mini parfaits such as chirimoya, lucuma, arroz con leche, suspiro limeño, and panna cotta.

You can easily locate our gluten-free products using the filters on our website.

Yes, our facility uses tree nuts such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts in several recipes. While we do not use peanuts, we cannot guarantee that the nuts we source are peanut-free, and all desserts are made using shared equipment.

That said, we do offer a variety of nut-free desserts. However, due to the risk of cross-contamination, they may not be suitable for individuals with severe nut allergies. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out—we’re here to help you make the safest choice.

Individual Crocantes are usually available for walk-ins, but all other sizes should be ordered in advance to ensure freshness and quality. Pavlovas and Crocantes are prepared to order, so it's highly recommended to place your order ahead, especially on weekends and holidays, to guarantee availability.

Yes, we make custom cakes with simple buttercream designs. We do not offer fondant-covered cakes, but we may be able to accommodate simple fondant decorations. For our curated collection of decorated cakes, please visit our special occasion page. If you have a specific design in mind, you can text or send us an image to discuss further options.

Our handcrafted mini desserts are available à la carte and priced by the dozen, with select flavors requiring a minimum of 2 dozen.

Pricing is as shown on our website. For current offerings and detailed information, visit the Mini Desserts section or contact us directly. If you need help customizing your order, we’re here to assist!
