Bakes by Renata

Questions I get asked

If yours is not here, just ask. I would rather answer it than have you guess.

Do you deliver, and where?

Yes, and I deliver by hand myself. Nutley, Clifton, Montclair, Bloomfield, West Orange, and Lyndhurst. Additional towns upon special request, so ask me.

How much notice do you need?

Standard notice is 2 days, which covers most platter and box orders. Orders over 100 pieces need 5 days. Everything is baked to order, so nothing is sitting on a shelf waiting. If your date is tight, ask anyway and I will tell you honestly whether I can do it.

How many people does a platter serve?

Every platter on Our Bakes lists its piece count and roughly how many people it serves. The Parties page has a headcount table if you want to work it out yourself. Or tell me your headcount and I will make a recommendation.

Do you have a shop I can visit?

No. Everything is baked in my own licensed home kitchen here in Nutley and delivered to you. There is no storefront and no pickup counter.

How do I pay?

I send an itemized invoice you can pay by card through Square, or you can pay by Zelle. Nothing is owed when you submit the order form. The invoice comes from Bakes by Renata, so it can go straight to accounts.

Can you send a formal quote?

Yes. If you need something to take to whoever approves spending, ask and I will send an itemized quote with your organization on it.

Is there anything I need to set up?

No. Everything arrives arranged and ready to put straight on the table. No platters or serving tongs to find. Individually wrapped options are available when people are taking something to go rather than staying to eat.

Is everything labeled?

Yes. Every item carries a full ingredient and allergen label, which matters more than people expect when you are feeding a large crowd.

Do you do offices, schools, and client gifts?

Yes, and that is most of what I bake. Offices, schools, closings, and fundraisers around Essex County. See Corporate Desserts & Gifts for platters and client gift options.

Do you do parties and family celebrations?

Yes. Party packages, platters, and individually wrapped party favors are all on the Parties page.

How do I order?

Use the order form. It asks for your date, delivery window, headcount and town, which is everything I need to confirm in one pass instead of three emails. Not sure what fits? Tell me the headcount, the time of day, and the occasion, and I will come back with a short list rather than a catalog.
