Shipping Questions

If you require shipping outside of our Local Region or want to use our standard ordering system to customize your order, while our Cheesecake is made to order, quality takes time, so unfortunately, we can't make AND ship Cheesecake the same day. There is not enough time to bake, cool and prepare a cheesecake for shipping, at a minimum it takes 3 Days.

We Offer FLAT RATE 2-Day UPS or FEDEX SHIPPING across the Contiguous United States for $9.98 for the First item in your cart. Want to order more than one cheesecake, then each extra item added to the cart is only $5.00 each. Up to 5 items! If you need a larger order, then call or e-mail us so we can quote you a Bulk Rate for larger orders.

Local Pick-Up at our Bakery Location in Robinson Township is FREE 7 Days a week.

Orders are shipped UPS or Fed-Ex anywhere in the Contiguous United States! For proper Food Safety and to maintain freshness, all orders MUST BE shipped frozen. We shrink wrap the cheesecake in food safe film. The cheesecakes are then placed into a custom made and engineered heavily insulated shipping container with Thermal Lining, Dry-Ice and Gel Packs.

Our Cold Chain Packaging has been tested at a constant temperature of 110 degrees F to maintain temperature and freshness for up to 80 hours or 3 days in transit. We developed this packaging for a worst case scenario where UPS or FedEx does not deliver on-time. FedEx is notorious for missing delivery dates, so we always ship 2-Day FedEx shipments on Monday and Tuesday to make sure an extra week day is available for delivery.

The package is wrapped and sealed to maintain freshness. By the time you receive your order, the Dry Ice may have evaporated, the Ice Brix may be partially chilled. But, as long as the cheesecake itself is still cold 40 Degrees F or lower (not its box) and/or partially frozen, place it into the freezer immediately.

If your cheesecake shipping time is within One Business Day, the packaging will be able to withstand almost any type of temperature range or conditions.

If you are shipping cheesecakes to destinations which routinely experience high daytime temperatures (Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc...), we suggest that you have someone present to accept delivery immediately upon arrival. BUT, the packaging is engineered to maintain freshness just in case.

If you are shipping to an Office or Business location with a front desk receptionist or mail room, please make sure that the recipient is aware of the shipment in advance. Sending a cheesecake as a surprise is fun, but what happens if no-one is home, or the recipient is out of the office!

Are Order shipping times Guaranteed? Unfortunately no. Even though you may select a preferred date for delivery, those dates are approximate only. Due to various circumstances your order may arrive within 1 day +/- of your preferred date. We strive to have products delivered on or before your preferred date, but its better for a frozen cheesecake to arrive sooner than LATE!

You will receive detailed tracking information once your order ships. Please follow the tracking so you can be present for delivery!

We offer Local Delivery 5 Days a week, not including Holidays. We ship 4 days a week, not including holidays. We use UPS and Federal Express shipping to maintain freshness.

To make sure, that your product arrives prior to any weekend, we ship Monday thru Wednesday for most locations. We ship on Thursday if your address is within a 1-day UPS ground ship zone from our facility.

It is possible for a Tuesday Delivery, but only if your delivery zip code is within our 1 Day UPS Ground Delivery Zone. Our 1 Day UPS Ground Ship Zone includes all of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, Western New York, Northern Virginia, Northern West Virginia, and Southern New Jersey below Trenton.

Unfortunately, we cannot ship to international addresses, or US territories. When dealing with fresh cheesecakes which have been frozen for shipping, there is no way to assure safety and freshness of the food product since shipping times are not guaranteed. Many countries do not allow shipping of food products. We can only accept orders for valid home or business delivery addresses within the United States.

Yes, if you are in the Pittsburgh area, we can arrange for you to pick up your order 7 Days a week. Just let us know in advance.

Refrigeration and Serving

Our Cheesecakes are Baked Fresh the Day before shipping. We do not keep huge warehouse inventories. Cheesecake is a delicate dessert which is delicious if cared for properly. Cheesecakes should always be wrapped and refrigerated or kept frozen to maintain their limited freshness!! Yes, limited, cheesecake has a short shelf life!

If you are planning to eat your cheesecake within 1 day of arrival, Cheesecakes should be refrigerated immediately upon delivery and kept wrapped using protective film. Never leave cheesecakes unwrapped or exposed to air.

If you are planning to wait several days to eat your cheesecake after arrival, then KEEP IT FROZEN!

Defrosted cheesecake will be fresh for 2 to 3 days if wrapped and refrigerated properly below 40 degrees F. Cheesecakes unwrapped will dry out and lose integrity rapidly.

Cheesecakes may be kept frozen for up to 6 months. If you choose to eat a frozen Cheesecake, we recommend first removing it from the freezer and leave it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. DO NOT leave a WHOLE Cheesecake on the counter at room temperature or in any other temperature environment above 41 degrees F to thaw.

If you have leftover Cheesecake after cutting, wrap all exposed cuts immediately, we recommend using wax, parchment paper or plastic film and cover the exposed cut face. This will prevent the Cheesecake from drying out.

If you have leftover Cheesecake and want to freeze the remainder. We suggest cutting the balance into usable portions or slices. First wrap each individual slice with thin wax paper, then wrap that entirely with thin foil. Then place each into the freezer.

You can defrost individual frozen slices easily, by removing from the freezer, completely unwrapping, and letting the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.

Small 4 inch sampler cheesecakes should be kept frozen as they will defrost within 45 minutes just like a slice of cheesecake would.

Our 1 INCH Bitty-Bites should always be kept frozen as they will defrost in 5 MINUTES!

DO NOT attempt to cut a Frozen Cheesecake!! It must be properly thawed first.

There are several ways to cut a cheesecake. The most common is to use a straight metal blade knife at least 6 inches long. Warm the blade in hot water for 15 seconds, then make one cut. Clean the blade, then re-heat and repeat. You will find that the container of warm water will lose temperature quickly and the water will get very messy. So, we suggest cleaning and re-filling the container frequently.

Another method is to heat a metal knife blade gently for 10 seconds using a gas cook top on low. This will make the blade extremely hot to the touch, but it will make a perfect cut. Clean the blade with hot water to remove any debris, dry the blade thoroughly, then re-heat and repeat. DO NOT re-heat a dirty blade, any residue will get baked-on or burned which will ruin the Cheesecake!
