Should I refrigerate my cakes, cupcakes or cheesecakes?
If you ordered a cake or cupcake with cream cheese icing, lemon curd, whipped cream or vanilla custard, those WILL NEED to be refrigerated, along with ALL cheesecakes. We recommend if you do refrigerate your cake, let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to serving to slightly soften the icing.

What kind of buttercream do you use?
We use an Italian buttercream, which is an egg white meringue-based buttercream. It is made with all butter, no shortening, resulting in a light and airy texture. The exception to this is our vegan buttercream, which is made without eggs and dairy.

Do you have allergen information available?
Yes, you can find allergen information in this PDF document. If you are interested in a treat or monthly special that is not listed in this pdf, contact us with your inquiry and we can look it up for you.
