Cakes

  • Disassemble the sides of the box until it lays completely flat.
  • Slide a spatula under the cake and carefully lift it to tilt the cake up.
  • Slide your hand under the cake and lift it out of the box using the spatula for additional support.
  • Set the cake down on your desired platter and gently slide your hand out from underneath the cake while lowering the cake down.
  • Remove the spatula once the cake is placed.

We highly recommend enjoying our cakes at room temperature.

We are happy to put an inscription in any color on top of your cake for no additional charge. Any further decoration is subject to an additional fee determined by the complexity of the design.

Yes! We have a limited supply of fun candles and cake toppers. Please inquire when you place your order.

  • We want your cake to make it to your destination in perfect condition. There are a few things you can do to keep your cake safe as you transport it from our shop to your celebration:
  • The safest place for your cake is on the floor of the backseat area of your vehicle. This is an even, flat space with minimal room for the cake box to slide around. Plus, the backseat is temperature-controlled so you have a higher chance of keeping your cake nice and cool and preventing slipping. Avoid putting your cake in your trunk, on a seat or on someone’s lap.
  • We suggest using a car with air conditioning that works well to keep your car and cake nice and cool. Your cake is beautiful and we want it to stay lovely from the time you leave our shop to the time it arrives at its final destination. Our vanilla cream cheese  icing is made with butter and cream cheese, which gets soft as it warms up. Icing that gets too warm from being in a hot car can slip and slide from bumps, potholes, quick stops and sharp turns.
  • Drive carefully! Take turns slower than you usually would and avoid bumps and potholes as much as possible.
  • When displaying your cake, keep it in a cool and temperature-controlled environment. The ideal environment is indoors, in a cool room, and out of direct sunlight. They are stable, but must be handled with care.

Please note: Once the cake leaves our shop, we are not responsible for what happens on the transportation journey. Please follow the transportation instructions above and feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
