Our local delivery service is operated by third-party shipping companies. The delivery window is between 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm (Eastern Standard Time) depending on the area, Tuesday to Sunday. We try our best to offer contactless delivery. For houses/townhouses, the cake will be dropped off at a visible place at your front door, and the driver will ring the bell at least once. We are not responsible for any damage or stolen caused by "nobody home" or "broken doorbell," etc. Delivery delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as heavy traffic, bad weather, personal emergencies, etc. During major holidays such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Christmas Eve, the delivery window will be extended to 10:00 pm. We apologize if there are delays and will do our best to rectify the situation. For all condo/apartment residents, upon arrival, we will contact you via the phone number you provided on the checkout page. We will ONLY deliver to the lobby of the condo/apartment complex, so please be present at the lobby for pickup, wear a mask, and practice physical distancing. The delivery will only be attempted once; If nobody answers the phone or has a wrong address, we will skip the current delivery and move on to the next stop, and any re-deliveries may incur a fee.

Can I reschedule my order(s)?

Once the order is placed, our system will automatically reserve a time slot for us to prepare your order(s) and send the delivery request(s) to the third-party shipping companies (for delivery orders).
