How long does Cake Cart service last?
Cake Cart service time is based on your guest count. Events with 50 or fewer guests include 1 hour of service, while events with more than 50 guests include 2 hours. We’ll coordinate with you in advance to ensure the service window fits seamlessly into your event.
Service may conclude earlier if all guests have been served. Need more time? Additional service hours are available for an extra fee.
Where should we set up the Cake Cart & how much space does it need?
The Cake Cart should be placed on a flat, stable surface in a location that’s easily accessible for guests. We recommend a high-traffic area where guests can comfortably move through the line.
The Cake Cart measures approximately 70" wide, 28" deep, and 36" tall. We also need about 3 feet of space behind the cart for the Hoopla Helper to operate.
What do you need from us on the day of the event?
We’ll need a designated setup area and clear access for load-in. Please ensure the space is ready 30 minutes before your event start time so we can set up efficiently.
Is setup and cleanup included?
Absolutely! Your Hoopla Helper handles both setup and cleanup so you can relax and enjoy your event.
Is power/water required?
Nope! The Cake Cart is fully self-contained and does not require access to power or water—making it easy to set up at indoor or outdoor events throughout the Portland area.
Does service need to be indoors, or can it be outdoors?
The Cake Cart can be set up indoors or outdoors and works best in mild to warm weather. In colder temperatures, we may require an indoor setup to ensure our frosting stays at the proper consistency.
If inclement weather is expected, we’ll work with you to determine the best plan. This may include moving the setup indoors, rescheduling, or issuing a Cake Hoopla event credit if conditions are unsafe.
If you choose to cancel due to weather but we are able to operate safely, our standard cancellation policy will apply. We encourage reaching out as early as possible so we can help find the best solution for your event.
Can I customize the Cake Cart for my event?
Yes! We offer customization options like themed sprinkle mixes to match your event. You’re also welcome to provide your own branded or personalized elements—such as stickers for the cake boxes or an 18x24" poster for the front of the Cake Cart—at your own expense.
These custom touches make the Cake Cart especially popular for weddings, corporate events, and branded experiences in the Portland area.
