You may have to pay another $5 to $7 for edible images at some Dairy Queen locations. This is also the case if you want to buy candles.

Important things to consider

Ordering ahead of time is recommended during peak times if you want to make sure you will get your cake at the right time. For instance, during special occasions and holidays, like Father’s Day or Mother’s Day, the DQ cakes are sold faster than the cake decorators are able to decorate.

Also, you should place your order a minimum of three days in advance if you want a customized cake, especially one that has an edible photo image on it. A 24-hour’ notice is usually given for both regular images from the Dairy Queen Cake catalog and for regular cakes.

You will not be able to find all DQ cakes at all locations. In case you order a specific cake online, pay close attention to the location from which you are ordering because it may not be as close to you as you think.

Make sure that you have enough space in your freezer because the largest DQ cakes take up a lot of space. You must keep all Dairy Queen cakes frozen until they are cut and served because all of them have some type of ice cream.

You can buy a DQ cake straight from the cooler at your local store if you need a cake without notice and are in a hurry. It might not have the exact decorations you’re looking for, but at least you can have a message and the person’s name written on it.

Tips for saving money

In order to save a few dollars, you should take into consideration purchasing discounted Dairy Queen gift cards from the Raise.com website.

You can get a discount of up to 50% off the cost of the cake if you have a Dairy Queen Cake coupon. These Dairy Queen Cake deals (coupons) and offers can be found on their official website. In some situations, you may find deals of even up to 70% off on coupon websites like Groupon.com. For instance, at the time this article was written, they offered a ten-inch ice cream cake for around $17 and an eight-inch ice cream cake for $15.

Another way to save money on a Dairy Queen cake is to buy a plain cake and decorate it yourself. Plus, you can add your personal touch to it and individualize it as you want.
