Cake Care Instructions
Follow these simple instructions to ensure your cake is served beautifully and tastes delicious!
*Pick Up*
When carrying your cake, please place both hands under the cake, being careful to keep hands under the cake center. Keep the cake level at all times. Do not pick up or carry the cake by the sides. The box or cake board will bend and may damage frosting with the edge of box. Pick up or delivery is best done in the early morning and/or in a very cool, air conditioned car. Make sure you have enough room in your car for the size cake you are purchasing. Please have a clean level space available for your cake.
*Transport*
Keep the cake cool and away from direct sunlight and heat. Please make sure you have a flat surface in your car to transport your cake. Most cakes will fit on the front floor board. Larger cakes will need to travel in the back of an SUV or wagon. Please avoid putting it on a slanted car seat or any area with a slant. I DO NOT recommend someone holding the cake. Placing it on the floor board is the best option. Do not leave any desserts in the car for longer than it takes for you to get home. The heat affects frosting and causes it to break down. Do not squeeze the sides of the box because the frosting may stick to the box. When carrying or transporting your cake, please place both hands underneath the cake to support the cake and the board. If you will be traveling with your cake after you take it home, I recommend keeping it refrigerated so the cake will be nice and firm for travel and of course, drive carefully and avoid slamming your brakes or turning sharply.
*Storage*
When placing cakes/cupcakes frosted with buttercream in the fridge, please be aware that your cake will more than likely pick up the scent and flavor of any onion, garlic or other strong smelling items in your refrigerator. Please keep it away from these items if possible. Allow 2 hours for cakes to come to room temperature if you do not want to serve cool cake. Cakes/cupcakes with cream cheese frosting should stay refrigerated up to 30 mins to 1 hour before serving). Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
Keep cakes away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat, as they may fade or melt.
CAKE POPS or CAKE HEARTS: I do not recommend refrigerating- temperature changes can cause the chocolate to crack.
Cookie Care Instructions

Decorations on sugar cookies may be delicate - handle as little as possible. Do not shake box. Handle with care and keep level.

Cookies can be frozen for a later date. To freeze decorated sugar cookies, individually package each cookie in it's own bag and place bags in an air tight container in the freezer. Allow cookies to thaw/come to room temperature before opening bags.
