Cakes for birthdays
Birthdays drive a lot of Pickering's orders (the top occasion after the holidays), and about 1 in 7 of the city's gifts is a cake or something from the bakery. It arrives on the same delivery.

The median Pickering order is about $135: what it gets you

Wine with cheese: the safe bet

The usual Pickering questions
When do I need to order for Pickering same-day?

Free when the order is $100 or more; otherwise the fee is displayed at checkout before payment.
Do they have to answer the door?
Not for most gifts, which can be left safely or at reception. A gift with alcohol must be received by someone 19 or over with photo ID.
Might something in the basket be swapped?
