What size cake do
I need?
I am working on some recipes that cater to different dietary requirements (gluten free and vegan) However, I do work in a kitchen which contains nuts, gluten, dairy, soya, eggs and peanuts so unfortunately all my bakes may contain traces of the allergens listed.
Depends on the item, for cupcakes, brownies and rocky road, 3 days notice will be sufficient but for bespoke celebration cakes as these take a bit more work and planning and require at least a month depending on availability. Please message me with details.
Yes, I deliver within a 25km radius of Hambye, 50450. For any orders over €75 we can delivery within 40km. Orders under €75, and over 25km will incure a delivery charge.
We currently do not offer postal orders.
If you are collecting from us, we advise you to put the cake in the passenger footwell and if its warm out, put air con on. The passenger footwell is the flattest safest place for a cake but it needs to be kept as cool as possible.
Yes you can collect from us, please message us to arrange collection. This is from Hambye, 50450.
Mixed treat boxes are only available the last Friday of the month. The contents stays the same but the flavours update monthly. We only have a certain amount available, so be quick!
You can pay when you order. For any orders over €50, a deposit of 25% will be needed and the remainder due 1 week before delivery/collection.
Once you receive your bakes, store them in an air tight container. Rocky road should be kept in the fridge and will stay fresh for 1 – 2 weeks. Cupcakes and celebration cakes need to be kept in the fridge and taken out an hour or two before consumption depending on the outside temperature. Brownies will stay fresh for a week and cupcakes and celebration are best eaten within 2 – 3 days.
Off course this is dependent on how large you would like your portions but as a general rule of thumb the cake can be cut two ways I not wedges or party servings Party servings are usually 1" by 2" finger slice of cake, whereas wedges are bigger.
6" cake ~ 8 - 12 servings
7" cake ~ 10 - 18 servings
8" cake ~ 14 - 20 servings
9" cake ~ 18 - 24 servings
