FAQ's
  • Can I phone or e-mail an order for pick-up?
Of course! The best way to place an order is through our online ordering system. However, you can also contact us at any of our locations and one of our Managers would be happy to assist you with placing an order over the phone or via email.
  • Do you accept call-ahead orders for same day pick-up?
Because we receive a large volume of pick-up orders for each day, we request that all call-ahead orders be placed by 5:00pm the day before. When circumstances allow, we do our best to accommodate same day pre-order requests, but in any event, you may always come into the shop during our regular business hours and purchase any number of cupcakes as a walk-in customer.
  • If I placed a pre-order, do I have to wait in line?
Not at all! If you placed a pre-order, you can walk into the store and one of our Store Associates would be happy to assist you and retrieve your order.
  • Do I need to pre-pay?
For all pick-up and delivery orders, we kindly request payment in advance. Our delivery drivers do not accept cash on delivery.
  • Can I order a flavor that is not available on the day of the week I will be picking up my cupcakes?
Unfortunately, we are only able to offer the selection of flavors available on our menu on the day of your order. However, we do make exceptions for large catering or corporate orders of 10 dozen or more per flavor. Please one of our locations and a Manager would be happy to assist you with your order.

We recommend that you store your cupcakes at room temperature.

To thaw them, leave them at room temperature for 2–3 hours before they are to be served.
