-
I want to purchase a Chocolate cake on Friday for a birthday celebration on Sunday, will my Chocolate cake still be ok?
Absolutely. Luckily, our Chocolate cake is choc full of chocolate, and coated with a real chocolate Ganache. Before you cut the cake, the Ganache helps to protect the Chocolate cake and helps prevent the cake from drying out or going stale. The cake can absolutely be left in a cool area for 2-3 days and will remain perfectly fresh and delicious.
Once the cake has been cut, we recommend that the cake be consumed within 3 days.
We don’t recommend that you refrigerate your cake - because it will slowly dry out the cake and make it very firm. However, if you do store it in the fridge wrap it in glad wrap to slow down the drying effect. Also, make sure you remove the cake from the fridge at least 4 hours before eating – to get the original yummy Chocolate Cake taste – this is super important! -
Can I send multiple Chocolate Cakes to different addresses in the same order?
No, you’ll need to place separate orders for each delivery address. Alternatively, if you have many cakes you wish to order, then you can email us with which cakes you would like for each delivery address and we can organise the order for you. Please email us at: info@thechocolatecakecompany.co.nz
-
How much notice do you require for your cakes?
Because we bake daily, we almost always have a small number of cakes available for pick up. If you order online the website will automatically outline to you when the particular cake you are ordering can be couriered to you, or picked up in store. Our classic range of cakes can always be fragile courier delivered next day, or picked up same day if you order before 2pm. Our designer cakes need extra work and as such generally need 24 hours notice. Please dont hesitate to call us on (09) 274-4924 if you are unsure.

-
How many words can I fit on my cake?
While we endeavor to fit as much writing on our cakes as we can, due to size and other decorations there is usually a limit to what we can do. Below is a guideline, please also note these are dependent on word length.
8": 4-6 words
10": 5-7 words
12": 6-10 words
For stack cakes, use the guideline above for the smallest cake size. -
What is the shelf life for your cakes? And how do we keep them?
Our cakes remain at their best for up to 4-5 days. If uncut the ganache will help preserve the cake and also prevent it from drying out. Once the cake has been cut, we recommend that the cake be consumed within 2-3 days. We do not recommend that you refrigerate your cake, because it will slowly dry out the cake and make it very firm. However, if you do store it in the fridge wrap it in glad wrap to slow down the drying effect. Also, make sure you remove the cake from the fridge 4 hours before eating.
