FAQs
How long will my cupcakes last?
Our regular cupcakes are best eaten on the day of purchase, but can be stored for up to 2-3 days. Some of our specials, for example those with fresh berries or cream should be eaten on the day of purchase.
How do I store my cupcakes/cakes?
Cupcakes should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container to prevent them going stale. We advise customers not to refrigerate our cupcakes, as this can make the sponge dry out.
How much in advance do I need to place an order?
We require customers to order 2-3 days in advance. Smaller orders for personalised cupcakes can usually be accommodated at shorter notice. Spare whole cakes may also be available in store. Please call the store you would like to collect the order from to see what is available in store that day.
What size boxes do my cupcakes come in?
We can box our regular cupcakes in 2,4,6,9,12 or 16 boxes. We also have display boxes, with a clear window which can hold 4, 6 or 12 regular cupcakes.
Our Mini cupcakes can fit into a display box of 9, or a standard box of 5, 9, 12, 16 or 25.
We can also ribbon boxes and add a message to the box if requested.
