  • Each cake has 3 layers of sponges with buttercream icing in between.

    • Sponge: Our cake sponges have moist texture and buttery taste.

    • Icing: We use Swiss meringue buttercream which is light, fluffy and mildly sweet.

    • Vintage cakes usually have a lot of icing on the outside for decoration. You can leave it on when serving if you prefer.

    • Cakes are to be stored in the cake box, in the fridge in and then taken out to come to room temperature for serving. Typically 1-2 hours before serving.

    • We recommend serving your cake within 48 hours of receiving for optimal freshness!

  • How should I transport my cake from pickup?

    In a car.

    • Please make sure you place the cake box flat on the floor in the front, instead of the car seats.

    Hot weather:

    • If it is hot, make sure your car’s air conditioning is on at least 30’ before arriving at pickup and during the transport. It is best to get some ice packs ready to put around the cake box.

    Once you’re home or at the venue, keep the cake refrigerated in the cake box and bring it to room temperature before serving (typically 1-2 hours out of the fridge).

    We don’t recommend driving with a cake for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if it is hot).

  • Depending on the flavour you choose. Please see in Faqs
