Product Info

Products

All of our cakes are three layers, except for the sheet cakes, which are two layers, and the New York Cheesecake, which is a single layer.

Our Cupcake Cake is not a layer cake, but a giant cupcake which feeds around 12 people.

As all our products are made by hand on the day, the final product will vary every time. Please bear in mind that the images on our website are for display purpose only and are not fully representative of the end product.

Storage

The following storage methods are our best suggestions, but our products are always best on day of purchase. All products should be stored in air-tight containers

Cupcakes. Do not refrigerate. Cupcakes should be fine within 24 hours of purchase.
Cakes. Only refrigerate if storing longer than 24 hours, except for the Cheesecake, which should always be refrigerated. All cakes should be taken out of the fridge two hours before serving for best flavour.
Pies. Pies topped with whipped cream or meringue should be consumed on day of purchase (they may be refrigerated, but the topping won't be as nice).
Brownies. Do not refrigerate. The cheesecake brownie should be consumed on day of purchase for best quality.
