Quick help please - am making a flier

Have been putting off getting flyers printed for my little business for a while. Anyway am doing it now just as my regular proofreader (my mum!) is away on holiday.

The main phrase on the flyer is "Bespoke buttercream cakes as individual as you" - for some reason this isn't sitting right with me. I feel like it should be "as individual as you are", but that also sounds wrong?

So which should it be?

Also: "Call us or email your order and we will create your perfect cake" - sounds crap right? "Call or email your order..."?

Ugh, don't know what has happened to me today!

TIA

I'm distracted by flier/flyer - I use "leaflet" Blush

I agree that "...as individual as you are" is better, and not remotely wrong.

"Contact us by phone or email with your order" ? I think "with your order" is optional and probably unnecessary.

Yes flier/flyer is annoying me too, sorry! Website I'm using says 'flyer' but I prefer leaflet ha.

Ok thanks for your help! Glad ending sentence in 'are' isn't wrong.

Thanks!
