OTHER QUESTIONS
Frozen cake? How to thaw for best results.
Our homemade cakes & pies are made with care and to preserve the taste we freeze our cakes & pies directly after baking. For the best results we suggest placing the frozen cake/pie in the refridgerator to thaw the evening before you plan to serve it. Can’t wait that long? Place the cake or pie in a safe place at room temperature, for example kitchen counter where the dog or cat can’t get to it…. Thawing time is 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the cake and temperature of house. Take thawed cake out of fridge about 15 minutes before serving for. Enjoy!
Can I order cakes and pies per slice?
Yes! We sell all of our cakes and pies per slice in our shop for take away or to eat in. We sell only whole cakes and pies via our webshop.
