Please take a moment to review the guidelines below to ensure your order remains as perfect as when it left our hands.
Transportation
Our floral cakes and cupcake bouquets are carefully crafted and delicate, so safe handling is key:
– Always carry the box from the base using both hands — never lift from the sides or lid.
– If possible, have someone hold the bouqcake/box steady while travelling to reduce movement.
– During transport, the bouqcake/box must remain level:
– The boot or footwell of the car is ideal if someone is not able to hold.
– Avoid placing on car seats, which are uneven and can cause movement or tipping.
– In warm weather, keep your vehicle’s air conditioning on to stop petals from wilting.
Storage
Proper storage is essential for maintaining the quality of your cupcakes and cakes:
– Cupcakes should be kept at room temperature and can be stored in the box overnight. They will last up to 3 days.
– Avoid refrigeration, as it can affect texture and flavour.
– Cakes are best kept refrigerated and removed 1–2 hours before serving to allow them to soften to room temperature.
– Keep all cakes out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
