    • Are your ice-cream certified Halal?

    No, they are not Halal certified.  They contain no eggs, pork and lard, suitable for vegetarians, except for Chocolate Marshmallow.

    • Are your ice-cream vegetarian?
    Yes,  our ice-cream is vegetarian, except Chocolate Marshmallow as marshmallow contains gelatin.
    • Are your ice-cream cakes vegetarian?
    It depends on your choice of design.  All our ice-cream are vegetarian.  But some cake decorations may not be vegetarian.  E.g.  brownies on cakes contain eggs, hence the cake is not vegetarian.
    • Does your ice--cream contain alcohol?

    Most of our flavours do not contain alcohol.  If they contain alcohol, they will be stated.

    • How long can the ice-cream stay frozen?

    They can stay frozen in the closed box for approximately 1 hour upon collection.  For delivery to your collection, please store cake immediately in freezer upon receipt.

    Extra dry ice is available at a small fee.  Do note that cakes with more dry ice will be harder to cut.  But we recommend having the cake harder than softer.

    • Do we need to thaw the cake first?
    We do not recommend thawing the cake as you may not know how long is enough before cake starts to melt . We recommend you sing your birthday song upon taking the cake out of the box.  If it is too hard to cut, you can then leave it to thaw for a while or warm up the knife.
    • Can the cake goes into home freezer?
    Most home freezer can accommodate a 1kg cake box.  When the cake is bigger than 1kg, the box is too big for most home freezers.
    • Can I remove the cake from the box and store in home freezer?
    You may do so but you must ensure there is no smell in the freezer as the cake may absorb the smells of the frozen food in the freezer.
