First, we do not sell cheesecakes based on weight, they are sold based on Flavor, Size and Extra Toppings. Having said that, this question is variable based on many, many issues including Size, Flavor and Toppings added:

The weights shown with each size cheesecake are for generic purposes only, based on the approximate Pre-Baked weight of all ingredients and are rounded up to the next whole pound for brevity. Chocolate cheesecakes are heavier. Cheesecakes with cookies, brownies, cake or cinnamon rolls can be lighter. The pre-baked weight is approximate only and not guaranteed based on the gram weights we use in the bakery. The actual weight of ingredients changes daily depending on humidity, moisture content and random factors such as egg weights.

Typically, cheesecakes will lose weight during baking from moisture loss and other factors (anywhere from 15% to 22%), the average Final or Packaged Weight is as follows, not including toppings since those vary wildly:

6x2 750g (1.65 lbs); 6x3 1,110g (2.4 lbs); 8x2 1,264g (2.78 lbs); 8x3 1,964g (4.32 lbs);

9x2 1,610g (3.54 lbs); 9x3 2,610g (6.2 lbs); 10x2 2,158g (4.75 lbs); 10x3 3,108g (6.84 lbs)

Unlike other companies, our weights are based on actual ingredients only, and do not include any toppings, the cardboard cake bottom, cardboard collars, wrappings, the cake box or promotional inserts.

Shipping box and packing material weights can ADD anywhere from 5lbs to 20lbs depending on the required box size, amount of insulation used and of course the amount of dry ice used. Keep in mind the weight of dry ice is not constant since it evaporates. By the time your cheesecake arrives 4lbs to 10lbs of dry ice WILL have sublimated (evaporated).

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!
