How much are the cakes? All large cakes are $45.00, plus $10.00 shipping and handling, for a total of $55.00; all small cakes are $28.00 plus $7.00 shipping and handling for a total of $35.00. These prices are for all types and flavors of each of Auntie’s cakes and include shipment within the Continental U. S. (48 States) or the U. S. Virgin Islands. Alaska, Hawaii, and foreign countries will require additional shipping charges.
When will my order be shipped? Under normal circumstances, your cake will be processed and shipped within 4-5 business days. However, if you order more then 10 cakes at once it may take a few days more. If you want to ensure delivery for a specific time and thus avoid any back order possibilities, order 2 to 3 weeks from the desired ship date. If your order is for more than 25 cakes, Auntie will contact you to jointly determine an acceptable delivery date.
How are the cakes shipped? Each cake is shipped via Priority Mail. These cakes travel very well and arrive fresh-tasting, as if baked on that day.
How will my cake arrive? Each cake is wrapped in aluminum foil to preserve the aroma and freshness. Then the cake is carefully packed for safe travel. Upon request we will include a gift notation in the packing slip.
Do the cakes have an expiration date? The cakes are made using the finest ingredients and do not contain any specific preservatives. If stored in a cool dry place and wrapped with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, they will last up to 2-3 weeks. Those cakes that contain rum, the rum acts as a natural preservative and may last longer. Once opened, avoid refrigeration; that will tend to dry out the cakes. For longer storage, wrap the cake in aluminum foil and then double plastic (airtight) and freeze for up to a year.
Do cakes contain rum alcohol? Some people say the rum is cooked and all the alcohol is evaporated leaving only the flavoring. Auntie says. . . I don’t think so; not my cakes! You taste it and you be the judge. If you should not or would prefer not to have products with alcohol, Auntie recommends ordering her Alcohol-Free cakes –they were developed Just For You! They are just as tasty, but do not contain any alcohol.
How many people do the cakes serve? Depending on your serving size, the large cakes serve 16-24 people and the small cakes serve 8-12 people.
Can I freeze the cake? Yes. To prevent freezer burn, be sure that it is properly wrapped. First, wrap the cake in heavy duty aluminum foil, and then use several pieces of plastic wrap, making sure that no air is trapped inside. Place the wrapped cake in a heavy plastic freezer bag (or zip lock) and secure it with a tie or with tape. Label and date the bag. To defrost the cake, let it sit overnight (or for several hours) on kitchen counter without unwrapping it, to keep in all the cake’s aroma and moisture. Once defrosted, cake is as fresh tasting as the day it arrived.
How do I store the cake? The cakes can be stored at room temperature. The cakes must be covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap even when kept in a cake cover to retain its extreme moisture and freshness. If hot climate conditions apply, please store in a cool place (preferably, not in the refrigerator). If you do refrigerate, let it reach room temperature before serving for maximum flavor. (Let it sit covered; or microwave a slice on high for no more than 10 seconds).
What is the best way to serve the cake? Room temperature is desired. Auntie’s Rum Cakes are wonderful served plain, but you can add your favorite topping if desired. Check out our Serving Suggestions. |
