Made By Megan Jayne: Custom Cakes for South Carolina Celebrations

Who Megan Jayne Is and What She Bakes

Made By Megan Jayne is a custom cake studio run by Megan Jayne, a baker based in South Carolina who designs and bakes cakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. She works directly with clients to create cakes that match the look, flavor, and size each event needs—not off-the-shelf designs, but cakes built around what you want.

Megan Jayne takes orders for cakes that range from small intimate gatherings to large wedding receptions. She handles the design consultation, baking, decorating, and delivery or pickup coordination. Her work focuses on custom designs rather than a standard menu, which means the cake is made specifically for your event and your preferences.

Key Takeaways

How to Start a Custom Cake Order

Contact Made By Megan Jayne to schedule a consultation. During this meeting, you'll discuss your event date, the number of guests, cake flavors you prefer, and the design or theme you have in mind. Bring photos, color swatches, or any inspiration images that show the style you're looking for.

Megan Jayne will ask about dietary restrictions, allergies, or special requests—vegan options, sugar-free variations, or specific flavor combinations. She'll also confirm the delivery location and any setup requirements for your venue. Once you've agreed on the design and price, you'll typically place a deposit to secure your event date.

Cake Flavors and Design Options

Made By Megan Jayne works with a range of cake flavors and can accommodate requests beyond a standard menu. Common options include vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, lemon, and carrot cake, though custom flavor combinations are possible. Fillings and frostings can be tailored to your taste—buttercream, cream cheese, chocolate ganache, or other options.

Design work is where custom cakes shine. Whether you want a simple elegant cake with fresh flowers, an elaborate tiered wedding cake with hand-piped details, a themed cake for a child's birthday, or something that reflects a hobby or milestone, Megan Jayne works with you to bring the vision to life. She can incorporate edible images, hand-painted details, sugar flowers, or other decorative techniques depending on your design.

Timing and Advance Notice

Custom cakes are not made to order on short notice. Most bakers, including Made By Megan Jayne, require several weeks' advance notice—typically at least three to four weeks, though more time is better for complex designs or large orders. This allows time for consultation, ingredient sourcing, and scheduling in the baking calendar.

If your event is coming up soon, contact Megan Jayne anyway to ask about availability. Sometimes a simpler design or smaller cake can be accommodated with less notice, but this is not may provide. Planning ahead removes stress and gives you more design options.

Delivery, Setup, and Pickup

Made By Megan Jayne typically delivers and sets up cakes at your venue, which is especially important for tiered or elaborate designs that need to be assembled on-site. Delivery is usually included in the price for events within a reasonable distance of her location. Setup includes placing the cake on the table, arranging any decorative elements, and ensuring it's ready for your event.

For some clients, pickup from the studio may be an option, though this works best for simpler cakes or events very close by. Discuss logistics during your consultation so there's no confusion about who handles transport and setup on the day of your event.

Pricing and Payment

Custom cake pricing varies based on cake size, number of servings, design complexity, flavor choices, and delivery distance. A simple two-layer cake costs less than a four-tier wedding cake with hand-piped details and fresh flowers. Specialty flavors or dietary accommodations may also affect price.

During your consultation, Megan Jayne will provide a quote based on your specific needs. A deposit is typically required to secure your date, with the balance due before or on the day of delivery. Ask about payment methods and any cancellation or rescheduling policies when you book.
