Can I reserve cake pops from the weekend cart?
Weekend cart inventory is available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Because some flavors sell out quickly, stopping by earlier in the day gives you the best selection.
How does the self-serve cart work?
Just choose your cake pops, total your purchase, and pay using one of the forms of payment. We accept cash, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle. Cash payments can be placed in the designated cash box at the cart, and instructions for Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle are conveniently posted at the cart. Our cart operates on the honor system, making it quick and easy to grab your favorite treats, pay, and enjoy! ♡
Are the cake pops individually wrapped?
Yes! Every cake pop is individually wrapped for freshness and convenience.
How should I store my cake pops?
Cake pops can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week, refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for up to 3 months when properly wrapped and stored in an airtight container.
For the best texture and flavor, allow refrigerated or frozen cake pops to come toward room temperature while still wrapped before enjoying. This also helps prevent condensation from forming directly on the candy coating.
Can I freeze cake pops?
Absolutely! Properly wrapped cake pops can be frozen for up to 3 months. Keep them sealed in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw them while still wrapped to help protect the coating from condensation.
Do you take custom or large orders?
Yes! Just A Sliver accepts orders for birthdays, weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, graduations, corporate events, employee appreciation, parties, and other special occasions.
Contact us with your event date, approximate quantity, flavor preferences, and any colors or theme you have in mind.
Please keep in mind, large orders take time, so please allow for ample time before the date your order is needed.
Can I choose my flavors for a custom order?
Yes! Flavor options depend on the size of the order and availability. We can discuss your favorites and put together a flavor selection that works well for your event.
Can cake pops be individually wrapped for events?
Yes. Individually wrapped cake pops are available and are a great option for weddings, parties, business events, favors, and large gatherings.
Do you accommodate food allergies?
Our products are made in a kitchen where common allergens may be present, including wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts. Because of the possibility of cross-contact, we cannot guarantee that any product is allergen-free.
Please contact us before ordering if you have questions about the ingredients in a particular flavor.
Do you offer gluten-free or sugar-free cake pops?
At this time, our regular weekend lineup does not include products that we represent as gluten-free or sugar-free.
What happens if the cart sells out?
When they're gone, they're gone! Because everything is made in small batches, the cart may close early when we sell out. Follow Just A Sliver on Facebook for sold-out announcements, schedule changes, new flavors, and the next opening.
