Immediately upon delivery, refrigerate all ingredients, fillings, and buttercreams marked Perishable Keep Refrigerated. The step-by-step instructional recipe and non-perishables can be stored in a cool dry place until you're ready to bake.

Your KékiCake should be mixed, baked, filled, and frosted within 3 days after delivery.

3 layers, 8 inches round and approximately 4” inches high. Serves up to 14; 2” slices.

All cake layers, fillings, and buttercreams are KékiCake original recipes. We focus on using all natural ingredients and creating a balanced sweetness (not overly sweet), to ensure the complimentary flavors of the cake, filling, and buttercream can be experienced by our customers. We use professional culinary techniques, many of which originated in France (aka the pastry capital of the world).

Our kits include French buttercreams (not American buttercream which can be too sweet and is prepared with powdered sugar.) The Citrus Carrot and Lemon Zest cake kits include a mascarpone & cream cheese American buttercream. But, it’s a KékiCake original recipe; significantly less sweet than traditional American cream cheese buttercream.

Some garnishes are prepared in our commercial facility e.g. toasted natural coconut and honey cocoa nibs. Others are imported favorites loved by our founder and pastry team e.g. Cacao Barry Praline Grains^®.

Your cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 1.5 hours (as long as the inside temperature is not too warm, and the buttercream does not melt and become too soft). Our amazingly delicious buttercreams are prepared with real, high quality butter and soften easily. When the buttercream becomes too soft, store the cake in refrigerator. Remember to allow time to bring your cake to room temperature before serving; 30-90 minutes before serving depending upon the coldness of the cake. Always serve your cake at room temperature. Please do not store or present your cake outside for more than 30 minutes in warm/hot temperatures. The buttercream will melt.
