HOW SHOULD I STORE MY CUPCAKE BOUQUET?
Store at cool room temperature and out of direct sunlight, or in the fridge if it’s hot/humid and you don’t have A/C! We suggest they be consumed within 2 days (on day of pick up/delivery or following day). If cakes are refrigerated they should be brought back to room temperature before consumption.
For longer storage cupcake bouquets can be frozen.
If refrigerated/frozen we recommend wrapping the box in cling wrap to keep the box airtight and the cakes moist.
DO YOU STILL OFFER CUSTOM CUPCAKES?
Yes! Please choose “Custom BouCAKE” and write in the checkout notes what colors and design you would like
I HAVE A NUT ALLERGY. DO YOUR CUPCAKES COME INTO CONTACT WITH NUTS?
It is possible. We cannot guarantee that the cupcakes that do not contains nuts will not have come into contact with the allergen since it is made in a kitchen that is not nut free. We suggest anyone with a severe nut allergy avoid eating our product.
DO YOU OFFER GLUTEN FREE CUPCAKE BOUQUETS?
We have a gluten friendly vanilla option on the website. Please note that we cannot guarantee no cross contamination since the cupcakes are made using shared equipment.
HOW SHOULD THE CUPCAKES BE SERVED?
The cupcake bouquet can be placed flat on a table. Each guest should pick out a cupcake from the arrangement using the dark green tissue that surrounds each cupcake. The bouquet structure should not be disassembled to serve. The bouquet packaging is flammable so please exercise extreme caution if using Birthday candles. Each cupcake flavor is baked in a different colored cupcake case but a flower design can correspond with a cupcake flavor if you so wish.
ARE YOUR INGREDIENTS ORGANIC?
No, not all of them. But we use all real ingredients with no artificial preservatives.
IF I CHOOSE TO PICK UP, HOW WILL I TRANSPORT THE BOUQUET SAFELY?
Each bouquet is packaged in a bakery box for protection. The small bouquet comes in a 10x10x8 box, the medium bouquet in a 12x12x8 box, the large bouquets in a 14x14x8 box and extra large in a 16x16x8 box. We recommend that the box be placed in the passenger foot well or in the trunk on a flat surface. Placing the box on a seat risks the cakes slipping off in transit. Keep the box out of direct sunlight and travel with the A/C on during transport.
