Great question! Our ocean- and mermaid-themed cakes come in a few styles, and the right size depends on your gathering and serving plans.

• Round cakes: Good for smaller celebrations or intimate parties.
• Sheet cakes: Helpful for larger groups and easy, even slicing.
• Two-tier cakes: A festive look that can support bigger events.
• Cupcake cakes: Pull-apart convenience—no slicing needed.
• Bundt cakes: A fun ocean-waves look with simple portions.

Product pages may list dimensions or serving estimates, which can vary. Consider other desserts you’ll offer and plan a little extra if you prefer generous portions.

You can order beach- and mermaid-themed cakes on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app.

• Check availability: Enter your ZIP code to see pickup or delivery options for your area.
• Choose a time: Add the cake to cart, then select a convenient time slot. Availability can vary by day and location.
• Plan ahead: Popular weekends may fill quickly, so ordering earlier can be helpful.
• Keep it chilled: If the cake is marked refrigerated, place it in your fridge soon after pickup or delivery.

Specific services and time windows depend on your local store and inventory.

Customization options can vary by design and location. When you open a cake’s product page, look for fields to add a message or select decoration details.

• Personal message: If a text box is shown, you can enter a simple greeting or name.
• Design choice: Choose from options like mermaid, beach party, or ocean waves when available.
• Timing: Place your order early so your preferred style and pickup slot are more likely to be available.
• No message option? Consider pre-decorated designs and add your own food-safe topper after pickup.

Availability and customization features vary by store bakery and product.

Storage needs depend on the cake’s frosting and fillings, so it’s best to follow any guidance on the product page or packaging.

• Refrigerated cakes: Keep chilled if indicated and avoid direct sunlight or warm areas.
• Transport: Place the cake on a flat surface to protect decorations.
• Serving prep: A short rest at room temperature can help texture for some frostings; results vary.
• Leftovers: Cover and refrigerate to help maintain freshness. Store cupcake cakes in a container with a lid.

Freezing isn’t recommended unless the product instructions say it’s suitable.

A few simple steps can make serving smoother and keep decorations looking great.

• Use the right tools: A serrated knife and cake server help with clean cuts.
• Match style to method: Sheet cakes cut nicely into a grid; cupcake cakes are designed to pull apart; bundt cakes slice well along the ridges.
• Protect toppers: Remove large decorative pieces before slicing to avoid damage.
• Surface and temperature: Serve on a sturdy, flat board; for some frostings, a brief rest out of the fridge can improve texture.

Serving techniques may vary by design, so adjust as needed for your specific cake.
