Q

Should I refrigerate my cake or cupcakes?

A

If you will be eating your cupcakes or cake the same day as pick up or delivery, try to serve as soon as possible—they’ll taste freshest that way. If you are having your cake or cupcakes the following day: refrigerate in the box we provide and take out your cake or cupcakes at least an hour prior to serving. Please do not leave cakes or cupcakes in a warm area, such as a car or outdoors when the weather is warm. They are made with real butter and will melt.
