Frequently Asked Questions

Mini cakes cannot be reserved in advance, and are first come first serve every day. The flavors vary daily, and we cannot guarantee a specific flavor combo being available on any specific day. If you want to pick up a mini, we recommend getting to the bakery close to opening, or coming early on a weekday!

Cake Martinis, similarly, cannot be reserved in advance, and are also first come first serve every day. They are available for takeout and dine-in. The flavors vary, but the most common flavor we make is Espresso Martini— layers of chocolate cake with mocha buttercream. YUM!

If you are waiting more than 6 hours after receiving your cake to dig in, please refrigerate your cake in its original box. If the cake will not be eaten for at least 48 hours, place the cake in the freezer, and defrost the cake in the refrigerator overnight the day before eating. Cakes can come out of the refrigerator 2-3 hours before serving. Most of our cakes are counter stable— the refrigeration/freezing is to preserve the color and stability of your custom design!

The best place in a car for your cake is on the floor— either in front of the passenger seat, or behind the passenger seat. Single tier cakes can travel in someone’s lap, as long as they are sure to keep the box flat (not at an angle). Two and three tier cakes should travel on the floor, not in a passenger’s lap.

During the warmer seasons, please ensure that your car is kept cool during transport to protect the stability of the buttercream!

Yes! We offer Uber Package as a delivery service for custom orders, and offer personal delivery for larger orders (such as weddings and photoshoots). Pricing is based on distance from our location in Fort Greene. We do always recommend picking up your custom cake yourself!

We do not currently offer same-day services for custom cakes. All of our non-custom cakes in our case are first come first serve, and cannot be delivered.

We do offer cakes that are vegan, and cakes that are gluten free!

While we take great care in preparing our cakes, please note that we are not an allergen-certified facility. As such, we cannot guarantee the absence of cross-contamination. If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, we recommend that you consult with us directly before placing an order to ensure we can accommodate your needs to the best of our ability.

All of our cakes are frosted and decorated with buttercream— NOT fondant— to prioritize taste and texture! With our unique flavor options and combinations, we’ve found that fondant is too overwhelmingly sweet for our liking, and we like to stick to the hundreds of years long tradition of all-buttercream decorating.
