Treat Care

Decorated Sugar Cookies

  • Keep cookies in their original heat-sealed wrappers at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks. Do not refrigerate, as humidity and condensation can damage the decorated finish.

  • Keep cookies in their original heat-sealed wrappers and place them in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

  • Set the unopened container on the counter for approximately 3 hours, or until the cookies reach room temperature. Leave both the container and individual wrappers closed while thawing to help prevent condensation from damaging the icing.

Rice Krispie Treats

  • Place sealed treats in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

  • Remove from the freezer approximately 3–4 hours before serving. Allow treats to thaw while still sealed.

Cakes

  • Carry the cake box from underneath with both hands and keep it level.

    Place the box on a flat, secure surface in an air-conditioned vehicle. Avoid placing on seats, in direct sunlight, and warm trunks.

    Drive carefully and go directly to your destination. Never leave your cake in a parked vehicle.

  • Item descKeep your cake boxed and refrigerated unless you have been given different instructions for your specific order.

    Keep it away from strong-smelling foods, direct sunlight, and heat. Make sure the refrigerator has enough space so the box does not press against the decorations.

  • Some cakes—including tall, sculpted, and tiered cakes—may contain internal dowels, support rods, support straws, or cake boards to help keep them stable.

    These supports are not edible and may be hidden inside the cake. Do not remove structural supports during transport or display.

    Before cutting and serving, let your venue, caterer, or anyone serving the cake know that supports may be present. Follow the cake’s disassembly instructions and remove supports and internal boards from each section before slicing and serving it.

    Remove non-edible decorations, such as toppers, wires, floral picks, and fresh flowers, before serving. Do not assume a decoration is edible.

    Keep all supports and small decorations away from children. If you are unsure how to take apart or serve your cake, please contact me before cutting.

  • Follow the serving instructions provided with your order. Many buttercream cakes have a softer texture after a short time out of the refrigerator, but the appropriate timing depends on the cake’s size, filling, frosting, and room temperature.

    Cakes with perishable fillings or frostings must remain refrigerated until shortly before serving. Keep their total time out of refrigeration under 2 hours—or under 1 hour when the temperature is above 90°F. This includes transport, display, and serving time.

    Display your cake on a sturdy, level table away from sunlight, heaters, and high-traffic areas.

  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator and follow the use-by instructions provided with your order.

    For freezing, remove all non-edible decorations and supports first. Ask about suitability for your cake’s particular filling and frosting. Wrap individual slices well, place them in an airtight freezer container, and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Treats so good you’ll “forget” to share.

A little care keeps every bite tasting bakery-fresh. Find your dessert below for storage, freezing, thawing, and serving tips.

Please follow any specific instructions provided with your order. Storage needs can vary depending on fillings, frostings, and decorations. The freshness recommendations below describe best quality when stored as directed.

Classic Gourmet Cookies

  • For the best taste and texture, enjoy within 5 days. Keep cookies in their original heat-sealed wrappers inside an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. No refrigeration is needed.

  • Freeze cookies in their sealed wrappers inside an airtight container for up to 3 months.

  • To warm from frozen, remove all packaging and place the cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Warm at 300°F, checking after 3–5 minutes. Add time in 1-minute increments as needed, until warmed to your liking. Let cool slightly before enjoying.

Brownies & Blondies

  • For the best flavor and texture, enjoy within 3–5 days. Keep brownies and blondies in their original heat-sealed wrappers inside an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. No refrigeration is needed.

  • Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    To thaw - Allow frozen brownies and blondies to thaw at room temperature. Keep the container and individual wrappers closed until fully thawed to help prevent condensation.

  • For a warm, soft treat, remove all packaging and place your brownie or blondie on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 10–15 seconds, then check. Add 5-second intervals as needed until warmed to your liking.

    If frozen, allow it to thaw in its sealed wrapper before unwrapping and reheating.

    Let cool slightly before enjoying—the center and any chocolate pieces may be hot. Heating times vary depending on the size of your treat and your microwave.

Cupcakes

  • Keep the box upright and level on a flat, secure surface in an air-conditioned vehicle. Avoid direct sunlight and heat.

  • Keep cupcakes covered to prevent them from drying out. Follow the storage instructions provided with your order, since different frostings and fillings need different care.

    Cupcakes with perishable frostings or fillings must be refrigerated. If you are unsure whether yours need refrigeration, keep them refrigerated and contact me.

  • For the freshest taste and texture, plan to enjoy your cupcakes close to your pickup or delivery date.

    If refrigerated, allow only a short time before serving for the frosting to soften, following your order’s care instructions.

    Keep cupcakes with perishable frostings or fillings out of refrigeration for less than 2 hours total—or less than 1 hour when the temperature is above 90°F. This includes transport, display, and serving time.

    Remove any non-edible toppers, picks, or decorations before eating.

  • Freezing suitability depends on the frosting, filling, and decorations. Please ask before freezing decorated or filled cupcakes.

    If suitable for freezing, remove non-edible decorations, place cupcakes in an airtight freezer container, and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
