Where do I pick up a cake in Markham?

Pick up at 505 Hood Rd, Unit 10, Markham, ON L3R 5V6, near Steeles Ave and Warden Ave. This is the kitchen where The Place makes its cakes to order, so it works as a pickup point rather than a shop with cakes on display.

In practice that means you order online first, choose a pickup slot in your cart, and come when your order is ready. The delivery policy asks you to wait for the Ready for Pickup email before heading over, because the slot is a guide and the cake is prepared within the window you chose. The team can be reached on +1 (888) 356-9099 or at Contact@ThePlaceToronto.com.

Pickup is always free, whatever the size of the order.

What are the pickup hours in Markham?

Pickup slots run in one-hour blocks, from 2 to 6 PM Monday to Saturday and from 1 to 2 PM on Sunday. Holiday hours vary, and your cart shows the slots that are open on the date you choose.

Day Pickup slots Same-day pickup
Monday to Saturday 2 to 3 PM, 3 to 4 PM, 4 to 5 PM, 5 to 6 PM Order by 4:00 PM
Sunday 1 to 2 PM Not available; Sunday takes pre-orders only
Holidays Hours vary Check your cart

A chosen slot is a guide to when you can arrive, not a promise that the cake will be ready the moment the slot begins. Wait for the email, then come.

If you are picking up on a date you booked ahead, you can order from the day after tomorrow and up to 180 days ahead. Pre-order prices are lower than same-day prices.

Can I get a cake the same day in Markham?

Yes, if you choose an Express cake and order by 4:00 PM for same-day pickup. Only cakes with Express in the name can be made same-day or next-day, and same-day service runs Monday to Saturday.

Delivery is also possible. Order by 2:30 PM, and the cake arrives that evening between 5:30 and 10:30 PM. The same-day page lists the Express cakes available now.

Two cakes on the menu that have an Express version for same-day are Matcha White Chocolate and Tiramisu Nouveau. Matcha White Chocolate brings green and ivory together with clean lines, from $68.95. Tiramisu Nouveau pairs elegant drips and playful accents on warm neutrals, from $62.95. The Express version is a separate listing with its own price.

Does The Place deliver to Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Thornhill?

Yes, all four are in the core GTA, which is delivered every day. The fee is the same across all of them, and the table shows how it works. Fees are before tax and a guide; your cart and checkout show the final fee.

Area Delivery days Order $30 to $85 Order over $85 Order under $30 Arrival window
Markham Every day $4.95 Free $10.99 5:30 to 10:30 PM
Richmond Hill Every day $4.95 Free $10.99 5:30 to 10:30 PM

Thornhill Every day $4.95 Free $10.99 5:30 to 10:30 PM

From the next day on, many postal codes can also choose an afternoon window, 1:30 to 5:00 PM, which is free in most areas and adds $9.95 or $14.95 in some. Your cart shows the one that applies to you.

If you are ordering for someone else in Richmond Hill or Vaughan, put their address in the cart and make sure someone will be home to receive the cake. The delivery address cannot be changed once the order is being prepared, so check it before you pay.

Aurora and Newmarket are also in the core GTA and follow the same fees. The full list of areas, including Brampton and the set-day routes, is in the GTA delivery guide.

Should I pick up or have it delivered?

Pick up if you want to save the fee or choose your own time, and have it delivered if you would rather not carry the cake. The table sets the two side by side.

Who needs to be there You Someone to receive it

Delivery also gives you a tracking link by email or a call before arrival. If the cake arrives damaged, you contact The Place within 2 hours; approved claims receive store credit.

If you do pick up, the car ride is the part to plan. Put the box flat on the floor of the car or in the trunk, not on a seat and not on your lap, and carry it gently. Avoid sharp braking and turns. In summer run the air conditioning and keep the cake out of the sun, and in winter do not let it freeze. Once home, refrigerate it in its box within the hour; the storing and transporting guide covers the details.

Is there anything else to know before ordering?

Book early for popular dates, because each day takes a limited number of cakes. If an allergy is involved, say so in the cart note and confirm with the team before you order.

Prices on this page are a guide. The cart and checkout show your final fee, the pickup slots for your date and the delivery window for your postal code. For a wider look at where the delivery routes go, the main delivery page is the reference.
