  • Store in the fridge. Bring cakes to room temp 1-2 hours before serving, and cupcakes 30–60 minutes before serving. Never leave in the sun!

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze slices or the whole cake tightly wrapped in plastic, foil, and an airtight container.

  • All cakes come on a cake board. If you plan to also use a cake stand, make sure it’s sturdy and have it be the same size or larger than the cake board.

  • Carry from the base (not the sides of the box!). Keep flat on the car floor (not seats). Avoid direct sun, drive carefully, and use AC.

  • No, I do not offer pre-made cakes. My cakes and cupcakes are custom and made to order. Ready to find out more? Get in touch today!

  • Cake prices vary based on size. Cupcakes start at $35 per dozen, and mini smash cakes at $45. Each order is custom, so when I receive your request, I will give you the final cost before you commit. Check out the pricing page for more details.
