Let's say you are donating two certificates for cakes to a mother's group fall festival raffle.
What restrictions would you put on the redeemable cake?
Servings?
Flavors?
Time restrictions?

Just make each one for a dollar amount. Anything they order over that amount, they pay for. Make the minimum enough to cover one 8" double layer cake or 1/4 sheet cake.
"This gift certificate good for $XX towards a decorated cake."
I agree with the dimensions mentioned by previous decorater, then to be safe in case they want A LOT of detailing, I would ADD an additional $15 min. to your base price of the 1/4 sheet/8"-2layer cake. So that way if they want fillings and such, you are covered. I wouldn't put any OTHER restrictions on cert., just make sure you cover more than your base pay.
i've donated a few gift certificates. however, i just put that it is good towards a cake for up to 20 servings and then the dollar amount. that way, there is some limit. i also add that it will expire after 1 year and put the date and sign it. one more thing, put on the gift card how much notice you need....i always put 3 weeks.
AND the cash redeemable only restriction too, forgot! Good luck!

I agree about the expiration date. You would not BELIEVE how long people will hold on to those things!
