Macarons will keep well for up to 4 days after purchase, though they do need a little special care! To preserve freshness, plastic wrap the bakery box or transfer to an airtight container. Remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

CAKES
Our cake tastes best at just below room temperature. If you are serving the cake on the day that you pick it up from the bakery, you can choose to refrigerate it or keep it out of direct sunlight in a cool area. If you choose to refrigerate your cake, please take it out 30 minutes before serving to ensure soft cake and creamy buttercream.

COOKIE SANDWICHES
Enjoy chilled or at room temperature – it’s up to you! Cookie Sandwiches keep well for up to 3 days after purchase if properly cared for. To preserve freshness, plastic wrap the bakery box or transfer to an airtight container. Remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

ALLERGIES
