Why buy a vintage cake instead of making one at home?
Ordering from The Cupcake Factory ensures a professional vintage cake design with even piping and smooth buttercream. Each cake is baked fresh, layered carefully, and finished by hand for consistent presentation and balanced flavour—ideal for any event setting.
How should I store my vintage cake before serving?
Keep the vintage cake in a cool, shaded space away from sunlight. If collected the day before, refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature two to three hours before serving. This maintains the buttercream’s texture and preserves the piped borders.
