Polkadot Cake Shop builds catering packages around your event — typically a choice of mains, mains with sides, or a tasting-style spread, customizable for your group and dietary needs. Your FTOTM quote covers everything, with no per-item pricing to manage.
Minimums vary by event date, location, and menu. Most catered events work best at around 40+ guests, but tell us about your event and we'll confirm what works — smaller groups can often be paired with another truck or a simplified menu.
2–4 weeks ahead is comfortable for most dates. Spring and summer weekends book up fastest — if your date is firm, reach out early and we'll hold the truck while we finalize details.
Yes. Packages can be adjusted for your group, including dietary accommodations. Your FTOTM coordinator handles the menu details with the truck so you don't have to.
