Keep them in their original VST packaging or rewrap tightly to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

Cookies – Store at room temperature (under 70 degrees) for 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Cakes – Store at room temperature for 5 days, in the fridge for up to 10 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Pies and Cobblers – Store in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Cookies can be enjoyed at room temperature but for that ‘fresh from the oven’ gooeyness, heat cookies on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Allow them to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.

Cobblers are shipped in an oven and freezer safe container to allow for easy storage and reheating. Simply remove the plastic cover and pop in the oven (350 degrees for 8-10 minutes) or microwave until the middle is warm and the smell of baking spices wafts through the air.

Pies can be enjoyed at room temperature, straight from the fridge, or warm. We recommend reheating in an oven (350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the pie center is warm) and not in a microwave to preserve the flakiness of the crust.

Vanilla Pound Cakes can be enjoyed upon arrival; just unwrap and slice. If cake has been stored in the freezer, thaw at room temperature.

All other cakes arrive with icing and garnish for you to add (it’s not DIY, it’s “interactive”) and you can decorate with as much or as little as you like. Just unwrap the cake and remove the icing packet and garnish bag. Microwave the icing for 10-15 seconds. Stir and drizzle over your cake. Sprinkle the garnish and enjoy!
