The health and safety of our customer’s + employees is our highest priority. Each employee wears new gloves when handling desserts. Our team sanitizes after every transaction. Each employee fills out a daily healthy questionnaire and are taught to stay home, if feeling unwell. Your treats are meticulously sealed and packaged to ensure freshness and health + safety.
We offer local delivery in Santa Rosa, Napa, + San Francisco via Doordash, Uber Eats, and Postmates.

If there is one thing we know, it’s sweet stuff. We base all of our desserts from our 14 main flavor profiles. From those flavors, 58 dessert items are created! We carry Cupcakes, French Macarons, Whoopie Cookies, Party Cakes, Bundt Cakes, Mini Cakes, Cake Cruffles, Ice Cream Sammies, Cookie Cake Shakes and Frosting Shots.
Cupcakes and most desserts are best served at room temperature.
However, see answer to next question for more details.
All desserts are best the day they are purchased, since we bake fresh daily.
Buttercream frosted cupcakes will hold up well if stored in an air-tight container for 1-2 days at room temperature.
Cream cheese frosted cupcakes should be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days (the fridge will dry the cake out the longer it’s stored).
Cruffles will keep refrigerated up to 7-14 days since they are enrobed in chocolate to preserve them.
Whoopie Cookies and Macarons will keep 3-4 days, airtight in the fridge, served at room temp.
Ice Cream Sammy’s...can be kept in the freezer. Maybe someone out there needed to hear that?
Frosting shots can be stored in the fridge and served after coming to room temperature.
Oh boy are those two words the cause of much confusion around these parts!

Congrats! Our treats are best devoured today!
However, we know that's not always possible. So feel free to keep them in the freezer if you plan on storing them for more than a couple days (give them plenty of time to get to room temp before serving!). Otherwise, just pop them in the fridge in the packaging they came in and consume within 1-2 days.
Cruffles can be stored in the fridge up to 10-14 days due to the chocolate enrobing!
Macarons can be stored in the fridge 3-4 days.
