All of our cakes are shipped “signature release,” meaning the cake will be left at the door if no one is available. This way the cake will be received as soon as someone arrives. We don’t use “signature required,” because if no one is available to sign, UPS will take it back to the facility until they are able to redeliver. This may not be until the next day (or even Monday in the case of a Friday attempt), and we want you to get your cake as soon as possible in great condition. UPS does not keep your cake in a refrigerated or air-conditioned facility. We recommend following your package’s journey using the tracking code provided so that you know when your cake is delivered. If sending to someone else, we suggest you share the tracking code with the recipient so they are ready to receive the package.

At this time, we do not offer sugar-free or fat-free cakes. All of our cakes normally contain wheat and dairy products and may contain nuts.

Please note: we do not have a certified gluten free facility. Our gluten-free cakes are ideal for people with a gluten sensitivity but not for Celiacs, as our facility does use gluten products.
