Doweling and Decoration:
Important: Do not attempt smashing the cake with your hands or face. Some cakes will contain supporting dowels hidden inside that can hurt and cause permanent damage to hands, eyes, and face. Some cakes can contain decorations that may be dangerous to a person if mishandled. Remove any decorations that you consider a hazard to kids or adults before serving. Decorations are made for beautifying the cake, not providing flavor. Although some are made from edible materials, please take caution if trying to eat them. Some figurines, spheres, and flowers are made from food safe but NON-EDIBLE materials. Unless discussed in advance that they are edible, consider them not suitable for consumption (decoration only).
Allergens:
Depending on the cake flavors you are choosing, our products may contain eggs, peanuts, milk, wheat (gluten), nuts, soy, and other allergens. You agree to notify your guests about allergens. We are not responsible for any allergic reactions after consuming the cake or caused by being in contact with the cake. We transparently advise that we make our gluten free products in the same kitchen as our wheat flour cakes.

Recommendation on where to place the box in the car will be given (cake should not be placed on someone's lap or on the seat), however we do not take responsibility after the order is given to the customer in case of damage. Please make sure that car is not hot and use AC especially during hot weather.
Delivery:
Please note that if you are using Uber Parcel delivery, it is curbside delivery only. The driver will not take the cake up to your door so you must expect the driver and be ready to pick it up from their car. The driver cannot wait longer than 5 min so please be quick and mindful. As soon as your order is on its way, you will receive a link of the driver’s trip and will be able to track the progress of your delivery and its expected arrival time.

Cake Cutting Instructions
Multi-tiered cakes have a central rod which goes through the total height of the cake. Every tier except the top one has dowels which are necessary to support the height and structure of the cake. Separate the tiers before cutting by using a spatula or a wide knife and lifting the cake straight up off the central rod. Then cut each tier individually according to the image provided.
​
1. Make sure your cake is at room temperature.
2. Remove all the decorations, flowers and dowels from the cake and set off to the side. If you have a 2-tier cake, remove the top tier and cut that first using below steps.
3. Use a large knife to mark a grid/guidelines across the top of the cake so you know where to cut.
4. Lay your cutting board directly next to the cake. Cut downwards along the length of the cake, and push the chunk of cake onto the cutting board.
5. Cut the first chunk into narrow slices on the cutting board and place onto small cake plates.
6. Dip your knife into hot water (optional). Wipe knife clean with paper towel between slices.
7. Lay your cutting board next to the cake to repeat with the next slice.
-
A tiered cake consists of two or more separate cakes stacked on top of each other. The lower cakes have dowels inserted in them to support the weight of the tiers) above. Each cake sits on its own hidden cake board for support. A central stake runs the entire height of the cake and is anchored into the display cake board, making it structurally sound and safe for transport. To serve the cake, remember that it is in fact two or more cakes and your aim is to separate them and serve them individually.
-
First, steady the side of the top cake with one hand while you insert a knife sideways under the hidden support board the whole way round the cake, with the goal of loosening the cake. Next, grasp both sides of the top cake and gently twist and lift it up and off the central stake. Set aside. Repeat with any remaining tiers until you have separated all the individual cakes.
-
Then remove the support dowels (tweezers can be helpful) and serve all cakes as you would any single tier cake. When cutting the cakes, use a long, sharp knife and a gentle sawing motion, rather than pressing down on the whole length of the blade at once.
Storing Leftover Cake
Store leftover cake in the fridge, in a cake box or covered with saran wrap to avoid drying. Consume within 3 days.
