Yes, you can select the time slot of 11am-1pm, 1pm-3pm and 3pm-6pm before adding the product to your cart.

Q: Can I request a specific delivery time?

Sorry, we cannot arrange delivery at a specifically requested time as we arrange all our deliveries according to the areas and total distance of all orders we have per time slot. Drivers deliver to multiple areas in one trip and we cannot predict traffic conditions or potential unforeseen circumstances.

Q: Will my order arrive on time?

We do our best to ensure that your orders reach you within the selected time frame.

Please select an earlier time slot, or opt for self-pickup if you cannot risk receiving the cakes earlier/later than expected.

You will receive a delivery update via email shortly before your delivery time slot on the day your order is due for delivery. You may also opt for SMS notifications (after checkout) for the delivery update.

The driver will send the cake back to our store after completing his jobs at other destinations (if any).

The buyer or receiver will need to arrange a pickup from our store after the cake is sent back to us.

We do not promise, nor do we take any responsibility for the freshness of the cake(s) after that.

Please read the form carefully before submitting it.

Q: Do you use your own drivers or 3rd party delivery services to deliver the cakes?

We use 3rd party drivers who are familiar with the handling of our cakes and pay them by distance just like Grab, Lalamove, and other 3rd party delivery services. Sometimes, we use Grab/GoGet to deliver the cakes.
