Size and Portions
What cake sizes do you sell?
We offer three cake sizes: 6″, 8″ and 10″ – choose square or round. All cakes are made from 3 sponges – so are tall. They come on a cake drum that is generally 1″ bigger than the cake size (this may change in some cases depending on the shape or decorations of the cake).
How many slices are there per cake?
That depends on the size of slice that you want to serve. A Large Slice (220g) is your standard cake slice which is perfect if you are only serving cake and no other desserts. A Small Slice (110g), it’s half of the size of the large slice and is what you traditionally see served in birthday parties, weddings and special occasions.
Our 6″ cakes serve 8 Large or 16 Small slices
Our 8″ cakes serve 10 Large or 20 Small slices
Our 10″ cakes serve 15 Large or 30 Small slices
Shelf Life and Storage
How shall I store the cake?
Before cutting the cake: All cakes should be kept inside the box and stored in a cool dark place on a flat sturdy surface, please do not put the cakes in the fridge before cutting it as they will dry out and the decorations and colours may lose their quality as a result of the low temperatures and humidity.
After cutting the cake: please store it in the fridge, preferably in a sealed container to preserve its freshness and enjoy within 5 days from the delivery date, we recommend to leave the cake outside the fridge for 30 minutes before enjoying it.
Can I freeze my cake?
Yes, you can freeze your cake after cutting it, please use a sealed container and enjoy within 3 months.
How long will it last?
Your cake will last 5 days from the delivery date providing it is kept in the fridge after you cut it.
