DO YOU MAKE DUMMY CAKES WITH FAUX TIERS?
Yes, we can create dummy cakes and cakes with faux tiers.
HOW DO I SERVE AND STORE MY BUTTERCREAM CAKES?
Keep your buttercream cake chilled until 1 to 2 hours before serving so the buttercream has time to come to room temperature.
We use real butter, which can get soft very easily, just like a stick of butter does. If a buttercream cake sits out of the refrigerator for longer than 4hrs, it may soften and start to settle creating an exterior that is not as smooth. It will still taste great, but it may not look as smooth.
HOW DO I CUT MY CAKE?
For clean slices, use a pitcher of water and dip your knife into the water before slicing. The Wilton website has great charts on how to get the most slices out of your cake.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY CUPCAKES?
Keep cupcakes at room temperature. Cupcakes taste best when eaten the same day they are purchased, but if you need to store them overnight, enclose them in an airtight container at room temperature. We use real butter, which can get soft on warm days and not travel as well. Refrigerate cupcakes with whipped cream, pastry cream, perishable filling or cream cheese frosting.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY BROWNIES AND COOKIES?
Our bars and cookies should be stored at room temperature.
DO YOUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN NUTS?
We do have products with nuts in our bakery, so there may be traces of nuts in our products.

DO YOU MAKE VEGAN/KOSHER/WHEAT-FREE DESSERTS?
