What if I require a signature and no one is home when UPS delivers the package?

The courier will take the package back to the UPS Station and it will be the recipient’s responsibility to pick it up or schedule a redelivery. Keep in mind that some of our cakes are perishable and you may compromise the freshness of the product by doing this. We will not be responsible for any spoilage in the event of this.

Dry ice evaporates, so there may not be any visible dry ice in the package upon opening. If the products are cool to the touch, they’re OK. Do not touch the dry ice if there is any left in he box. You may be burned.

We recommend eating the fresh cakes within two days of defrost and frozen cakes within a week to experience the best taste.
