Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a chiffon cake?

A chiffon cake is a very light and fluffy sponge cake, common in asian-style bakeries for its light texture and lower sugar content (compared to traditional sponge, mud or pound cakes). Its main leavening agent is egg whites (meringue), producing a cloud-like, pillow soft, and delicious cake - great paired with fresh whipped cream!

5. How best to store my bread?

All our bread is freshly baked and handmade without any additives. It can be stored at room temperature in its original packaging for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to a week. For any breads filled with cream (e.g. tiramisu pineapple bun), please refrigerate and consume within 24 hours.

Bread can be eaten directly after thawing at room temperate or reheated is best! In an oven/airfryer preheated to 180*C, spray a little water on the bread and heat for 3-5 minutes.

In the microwave, wrap the bread in a damp paper towl and microwave on medium heat for about 30 seconds.

6. What is included in mixed fruit (seasonal) flavour?

Relying on current market availabilities, mixed fruit relies on the season for what's on offer, for the sweetest and freshest options. It usually includes a mix of up to 3 different fruits, and can include: strawberry, mandarin/orange, grapes, melon or lychee. If you have any preferences to not include a certain fruit, feel free to leave a note in the special instructions section of your order.

7. Can I choose more than one filling?

Yes you can! You can select up to 2 fillings, e.g. strawberry + lychee, or chocolate + strawberry. Please select one of the options, and type your other filling selection in the "special instructions" section of the order form.

8. I need a cake by tomorrow!
