HOW DO YOU BAKE THE CAKES?
1. Remove all contents from original package. wash the Large Bowl or Mug that everything came in. (confetti is not edible.)
2. Pour Cake Mix (large ba) into large bowl or mug. Add 1 small bowl (the bowl that the frosting is in) of water to bowl containing cake mix.
3. Mix well with the mini spoon until lumps are gone.
4. Place bowl or mug with cake mix in microwave for 1 minute and 45 seconds on high (cooking time may vary per microwave.)
5. While cake is baking, add frosting to small bowl. Add approx. 3 mini spoonfuls of water to frosting mix (or enough to reach desired consistency.) stir
6. Cake will be HOT! Let rest in microwave for 1 minute. Frost, decorate and ENJOY! (For better frosting coverage let cake cool. It is normal for cake to be uneven or shrink. The cake will still taste Great!)
DO THE CAKES CONTAIN PEANUTS?
Our cakes do not contain peanuts, however, the bakery in which the products are packaged does use peanuts. So we caution anyone with allergies.
DO YOU CARRY DIABETIC AND SUGAR FREE PRODUCTS?
We do not carry a sugar free, diabetic, cake.
ARE THE CAKES KOSHER?
The mixes used in our kits are produced through kosher conditions. HOWEVER, the GCC does not guarantee that the kosher status of the mixes and frostings are still kosher after re-packing.
CAN I HAVE A LABEL DESIGNED FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION OR CUSTOMER?
Yes, by using the business/custom cakes. Please allow 2-3 weeks from start to finish for proofing and approvals. There is no limit to the amount of cakes that have to be ordered.
CAN WE HAVE AN ORDER RUSHED IF WE PAY EXTRA?
No, not at this time, so please allow 1 week lead time for your order.
HOW WILL MY RECIPIENT KNOW WHO THE CAKE IS FROM?
We offer Greeting Cards, much like that you receive with flower deliveries. These are hand written cards that are sent with the order. You must specify this with your order.
HOW TO HANDLE CAKES IN THE HEAT.
Keep in dry cool place so the containers don’t get hot and the candle sprinkles don’t melt.
CAN ANY OF THE CAKES BE ORDERED AS PARTY PACKS?
No-just the ones that say party pack.
WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR HOLIDAY CAKES?
At least 2 weeks before that holiday is here to insure timely delivery.
WHAT TO DO WITH USED CONTAINERS?
