Cake Care

​

Once your cake leaves The Baekehaus, we are no longer responsible for any damages that may occur, during transportation or at your home. 

If you have any questions about the care of your cake, please contact us.

Below are some basic guidelines.

​​

  1. Carry your cake safely.

    1. Place both hands under the board of your cake to so that the weight of the cake evenly spread, while you carry it.

    2. Cake boxes are not very strong; please be careful not to squeeze the sides into your cake.

    3. Be sure there is not any object around the cake which has chances of falling over the cake box and hence damaging it. Go DIRECTLY to your cake's final destination.  Your decorations are made, with creamed butter!  Every little bump, every small curve, every stop and go affects the solidity of your cake.  In all of the times of delivering cakes, we've noticed elements slide off, breaks while transporting.  Warm buttercream can melt, especially if it is slowly decorated or have compact buttercream designs.  Make sure that you directly take it home.

  2. Drive safe with your cakes.

    1. Place cakes on flat surface in your car: flat space is best\ NOT ON PASSANGER SEAT which may cause the cake to damage.

    2. Secure the cake/cake box so it does not slide.

    3. Drive careful. Every curve, slope or bump can crack the buttercream or let decorations move/ fall off.

    4. HEAT OFF and AC ON especially during the humid and warm days. Your cake can melt or become soft and colapse.
