how should I store my cupcakes?
-
for the best experience our cupcakes should be eaten the day you purchase them and be kept and served at room temperature.
-
do not refrigerate them as the butter in the cake and buttercream will harden and give a completely different texture.
-
If you will be enjoying them more than 24 hours after purchasing, we recommend freezing them in an airtight container or place the box in a sealed plastic bag and freeze. for serving remove cupcakes from the freezer 4-5 hours in advance and leave at room temperature to thaw completely.
how should I transport my cupcakes?
- very very carefully. we can’t stress this enough - the box of cupcakes needs to stay level. they can’t be tilted, bumped, on the car seat. they are in an insert that is specifically made for cupcake boxes however there is no way to ensure your cupcakes get home safely unless you keep them level.

- we bake fresh everyday beginning at 4am and our pastry chefs bust their butts to get them finished for 11am. we take pride in our products we create and this love takes time.

- sorry, none of those options here. we want to be able to do it safely for our customers and right now our kitchen is not set up to be able to do that.
