How to Preorder Custom Cakes & Treats in Tuscaloosa
Ordering from a small-batch bakery is a little different from grabbing something off a shelf — and that's a good thing. Here's exactly how it works.
Because everything at Sweet Secret By Yuriko is made fresh in small batches, treats are baked to order rather than kept in stock. That means you get them at their freshest — and it also means a little planning goes a long way. Here's the simple process.
Step 1 — Choose your treats
Start with the menu. Pick your items, flavors and how many you'd like. Not sure? Popular choices include the vanilla cream cake roll, matcha crepe cake and a mixed box of gourmet cookies.
Step 2 — Send your order
Fill out the preorder form with your items, pickup date and contact info, or call (205) 861-9299. The more detail you share (occasion, colors, any allergies), the better.
Step 3 — Confirm the details
Yuriko will confirm availability, final pricing and your pickup time. For custom cakes, this is when you'll nail down size, flavor and design.
Step 4 — Pick up fresh
Collect your freshly baked order on your chosen day, made just for you. Pickup is in Tuscaloosa by appointment.
How much lead time do you need?
- Everyday treats (cookies, breads, tarts): 2–3 days is ideal.
- Cake rolls & crepe cakes: about 3 days.
- Custom cakes & large party orders: around a week, more during holidays.
