Cake & Dessert Care Instructions

Thank you for your order!

Please follow these essential guidelines to ensure your treats remain safe and delicious.

Transport:

  • Always lift and carry the box from the base, never from the lid or sides.
  • Transport your dessert completely flat. The safest place is the car floor or passenger footwell — never on a seat.
  • Keep the box stable and free from movement; avoid placing other items on top of the box.
  • Take turns slowly and avoid sudden braking.
  • Hot weather: Use air conditioning to keep the cabin cool and prevent delicate creams from melting.
  • Cold weather: Avoid high heater settings; sudden warmth can soften buttercream or cause condensation.

Storage:

  • Keep all products refrigerated at 0–5°C unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  • Store in the original box to protect the dessert from drying out or absorbing other food odours.
  • Never leave cakes or desserts in a warm car or in direct sunlight.

Serving:

  • Chilled desserts: Mousse-based and fresh cream items are best served directly from the fridge.
  • Buttercream & Sponge: For the best texture, these may be removed from the fridge 30–60 minutes before slicing.
  • Use a hot, sharp knife (wiped clean between slices) for the neatest results.

Shelf Life:

Fresh Dairy & Mousse Desserts:

  • Best consumed within 48 hours of collection.

Traditional Bakes & Sponges:

  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 days if stored correctly in the refrigerator.

Allergen Information:

  • Cross-Contamination: While specific items may be made without certain allergens, all treats are prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, dairy, gluten, and eggs; therefore, traces may be present.
  • Full allergen and baking ingredient information is available on our website. Key allergen details are also provided with every order at collection.
  • Please inform me of any allergies before placing your order, as some products may not be suitable for special preparation.

Important Liability Note:

  • Once collected, correct storage and handling are the sole responsibility of the customer.
  • If there are any doubts regarding the storage conditions or if a product has been left at room temperature for an extended period, please do not consume it.
