Send the event date and time, guest count, venue, menu role, allergies, budget direction and delivery details; then wait for written confirmation before treating the order as final.
Begin with the event basics
Share the date, exact serving time, neighbourhood or venue, and type of occasion. A family tea, office reception, wedding breakfast and seated lunch need different packaging and timing.
Include the realistic number of adults and children. If attendance is not final, give a range and the date when you can confirm. This is more useful than asking for an unspecified large tray.
Describe the menu, not just the product
Tell the bakery whether the order is the entire menu or one part of it. A pastilla served as a starter is portioned differently from a main dish. A pastry assortment after a full meal differs from an afternoon tea.
Browse the Bakery page and list the styles you like. If you want advice, describe the balance: traditional, elegant gifts, more savoury, less sweet, suitable for children or easy to serve at an office.
Raise allergens and dietary needs early
Moroccan baking frequently uses wheat, almonds, sesame, eggs and dairy; savoury dishes may include fish or shellfish. US guidance recognizes all of these within the major food allergen groups.
State allergies in the first request and ask about ingredients and cross-contact. A preference and a medically serious allergy are not the same, so describe the need accurately. Keep labels with trays during service.
Confirm logistics and food safety
Provide a complete address, landmark, floor, access instructions and a reachable phone number. Confirm who will receive the order and where chilled products can be stored. Delays at a venue can affect food quality.
FDA guidance says perishable food should be refrigerated within two hours and a refrigerator kept at or below 4°C. Discuss transport and reheating instructions for seafood, poultry, cream and other perishable products.
Understand confirmation and payment
A request is not a confirmed order until the bakery replies with availability, final price, preparation time and delivery details. Review spelling on cake messages, quantities and dates in writing.
At Fairouz Bakery, orders over 200 DH require advance payment before preparation begins. The requirement protects reserved ingredients and production time. Keep the payment confirmation and tell the bakery promptly if event details change.
