Quoted per order

A box is a weight of several things, so it is quoted per order rather than listed. The cookies are the one fixed figure and they are read live from the kitchen’s own menu — the cookie page has what they are and how they are sold.

What is actually in a box from here?

Start with the cookies. The caramel-filled shortcrust halves — oreshki, if you grew up with them — are what most of these boxes are full of, and they are the one thing on this page with a price of its own because they are sold by weight rather than by the piece. Around them go whatever else is being baked: brownie squares, slices of honey cake or Napoleon, dipped strawberries, macarons.

The seasonal boxes change what is inside rather than how it is built. At Christmas that means pine-cone pastries, decorated biscuits and cinnamon; in spring it means a floral disc on the lid and a lighter filling. The table below is what has a fixed price; the box itself is quoted once you have said what goes in it.

Why is a box a better gift than a cake?

Because it does not have to be cut, and that is a larger practical difference than it sounds. A cake arrives and immediately needs a knife, a plate and a decision about who cuts it; a box can be handed over at a door, carried to an office, left on a desk or put in a car boot and opened whenever the person likes. For a thank-you, a condolence, a new neighbour or a client at Christmas, that is the whole point.

It also keeps better. A box built from cookies and brownies holds for days where a cream-filled cake holds for two, so it survives being given on a Friday and opened on a Sunday. The exception is strawberries, which are fruit under chocolate and belong to the day they were dipped.

How many do you need, and when should you ask?

One box is a small order and goes in with the week’s baking at the usual 7–10 days. Thirty boxes is a production run and wants far more notice, especially in December when the kitchen is also making every cake somebody ordered for Christmas. A rush adds 50% inside 7 days, and in the fortnight before Christmas a rush often cannot be bought at all.

The corporate page covers office orders and branding, Christmas has the dates to order by, and cake by post explains what can and cannot be sent through the letterbox.

What else do people ask?

Allergies? Our kitchen handles all 14 of the allergens UK law requires us to declare, so nothing we bake is free from any of them. What is in each cake, and our hygiene rating.
