Handle Your Sweets with Love:
Please take note of these recommendations to ensure cakes receive the special handling they need:

1. Transport the cake on the flattest part of your vehicle, like the floorboard or flatbed space in an SUV. Avoid placing me on seats, as it’s not safe.

2. Keep cake away from pets and children to prevent any mischief.

3. Take cake directly to destination to avoid damage from bumps, curves, and stops.

4. Store cake in the refrigerator, but remember, is best to enjoy at room temperature. Take it out at least 3 hours before serving to guests. Avoid direct sunlight and keep cake below 75 degrees. If storing overnight or longer, refrigerate and follow the instructions above to prevent melting.

Remember, your cake order was made with love and care for you, so please handle it with the same care and love it was created.

When you arrive to collect your order, please ensure your satisfaction before we box it up. Unfortunately, due to the perishable nature of our products, we’re unable to offer refunds or exchanges once your order leaves our store.

Sorry, we do not accept cake orders for days we are closed. The good news is our buttercream cakes will last in the fridge for up to 5 days before you will notice a change in flavor, so you are welcome to pick up an order on Saturday for celebrations that fall on days the bakery is closed.
If you find yourself needing to pick-up your order on closing days without any other option, please inform us. Get in touch!

Care Instructions

Our cookies are freshly made and free from preservatives. To maximize their shelf life, each cookie is heat-sealed. They will remain fresh for up to two weeks before starting to change in texture and taste. If you anticipate not consuming them within two weeks, we recommend placing them in the freezer upon receipt. When frozen, they can be enjoyed for up to one month, maintaining their quality and flavor.
When you’re ready to enjoy your cookie, give it an extra pinch of love. For that fresh out of the oven taste, reheat in the oven or air fryer for 4-5 minutes at 180ºC/360ºF, (don’t forget to preheat the oven/air fryer). If the cookie is frozen, add an additional 2 minutes to the reheating time.
Quick heating: If you are in a hurry heat in microwave out the packaging (10-15 seconds). Only recommended if eating right away.

Buttercream cakes should be stored in the refrigerator, especially if the event is later on. Refrigeration helps preserve the freshness and stability of the buttercream frosting. However, remember to take the cake out 3 hours before your event and allow it to come to room temperature to ensure the best taste and texture.

Fondant-covered cakes are best stored at room temperature, ideally in an air-conditioned environment to maintain their shape and texture. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause the fondant to become sticky or lose its shape
