Cake Pickup or Delivery in Ploiești: Which to Choose at Dreamfort

Part of the guide: Delivery: Ploiești, Prahova, Romania

In short

Store pickup is free and has no minimum order: you collect your cake from Strada Maramureș 15, Ploiești. Local delivery reaches up to 100 km, costs 20 RON only on orders under 150 RON, and has a minimum order that grows with distance (500 RON beyond 10 km). Either way you choose the date, a time slot, and pay by card, cash or bank transfer.

In short: pickup is the cheapest and most flexible option (no fee, no minimum order), while delivery is the most convenient when the cake needs to reach your home, office or venue. You choose between them at checkout in the online store.

The differences at a glance

The main difference is cost: pickup is free, while delivery follows distance and order-value rules.

When pickup makes sense

Pickup makes sense for small orders, or when you live more than 10 km away and don't reach your zone's minimum order.

  • Orders under 150 RON, for example a treat from brownies and bars: you save the 20 RON fee.
  • Addresses more than 10 km away: a 290 RON XS cake doesn't reach the 500 RON minimum for 10–30 km, but you can collect it with no conditions.
  • You want to see the cake before the event, or take it straight to the restaurant in your own car.

The Strada Maramureș 15 location is a pickup point: there is no seating or display counter, and the hours shown on the site are Monday to Sunday, 09:00–18:00. Choose a pickup slot within those hours; if you need a different time, call 0755 096 784 first.

When delivery makes sense

Delivery makes sense when you can't carry the cake safely or when it has to go straight to the event.

  • Orders of 150 RON or more within 10 km: delivery costs nothing extra.
  • Large or custom cakes that are easier not to transport yourself.
  • Surprises: the cake arrives at the birthday person's address in the slot you chose.

The delivery hours shown in the store are Monday to Friday 09:00–21:00 and Saturday to Sunday 10:00–20:00. Your address is checked automatically at checkout, so you see straight away whether you are in range and whether you have reached the minimum order. Addresses more than 100 km away are only arranged after a phone call.

If you collect: how to carry the cake

A cake travels well if it stays level and away from heat for the whole trip.

  • Keep the box on a flat surface (a flat boot or the car floor), not on a sloping seat or on your lap.
  • Avoid direct sun and a hot car; in summer, run the air conditioning before the cake goes in.
  • Drive straight to your destination and refrigerate the cake if you are not serving it right away.

Delivery to another city

Fresh cakes are delivered locally only. Packaged products marked for nationwide delivery, like many of our brownies and bars, ship anywhere in Romania with a 100 RON minimum order. In the store, choose "National delivery" in the delivery selector.

How to choose at checkout

You choose in a single step at checkout.

  1. Add your products to the cart in the online store.
  2. Under "Delivery type", choose Home delivery (and enter your address) or Store pickup.
  3. Pick the date, the time slot and the payment method.
