Why are there limited sizes for certain cakes?
The available sizes are set in order to achieve the best quality of the cake that is suitable for production.
How long can the cakes last at room temperature?
Our cakes are prone to soften and melt after more than an hour unrefrigerated. It is recommended to keep our cakes chilled at all times and for at least 2 hours before serving.
The only exception is Moist Chocolate Cake, which is best served at room temperature or warmed (microwave 15 – 20 seconds).
Which cakes are suitable for longer periods without refrigeration?
Our Moist Chocolate Cake is stable enough to maintain its shape even at room temperature, but not under direct sunlight. It is best served warmed (microwave 15 – 20 seconds) or at room temperature. This makes it a suitable choice for indoor celebrations or functions. Our brownies have similar properties as well.
How many days can I keep the cake in the refrigerator?
From the day of collection/delivery, our cakes can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. It is best to keep the cake in an air-tight container to delay dehydration once cut. Chocolate Indulgence is best consumed on the same day.
Which of your cakes do not contain eggs?
Our eggless cakes are Oreo Cheese, and Raspberry Cheese. However, they are produced in the same facility as other cakes and may contain traces of eggs and/or other ingredients. The bases consist of butter and biscuits that may contain eggs or traces of eggs. These cakes are not suitable for staunch lacto-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, vegans, or those avoiding allergic reactions.
Do you have cakes suitable for vegetarians?
Most of our cakes contain butter and eggs, and some contain fish-based gelatin. All cakes are produced in the same facility as other cakes and may contain traces of other ingredients. Our cakes are generally not suitable for staunch vegetarians or those with allergic reactions to certain ingredients.
