DO YOU OFFER MULTI-TIER
CAKES?
We do! Since we’re a home bakery, we work with single tiered cakes almost exclusively. However if you would like a multi-tier, send us an email to start your custom order. Pricing and design will be discussed.
HOW LONG DOES MY CAKE LAST?
Uncut for up to 6 days from pickup. Once cut it’s best to put a piece of parchment paper across the cut side and refrigerate in an air tight container for maximum freshness/minimal moisture loss. Most cakes can be kept at room temperature except the CAMILA (carrot) Cake, which should be refrigerated if not eating within a day.
You can freeze leftovers in cling wrap for up to 3 months
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY CAKE?
If you’re not consuming it right after pickup, it’s best to pop it in the fridge. Pull your cake out of refrigeration 2 hours before serving so it can come to room temp. Cakes can stay at room temperature for a few hours, but be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight and heat. Be mindful that some cakes less stable and might bulge/become unsightly if left out of refrigeration too long.
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
We aim for our cakes to actually be delicious through our precise, Nonna-inspired and tested recipes. The buttercream piping is meant to be artistic, flowing, but most of all tasty. I’ve never been a fan of icing until I started to make Swiss Meringue. This is the base of all of our cakes and offers a light and silky compliment that is not too sweet- to combine with the flavors of the cake.
