FAQ
Delivery
Do you deliver anywhere in the UK?
Yes, we do deliver to any postcode in the UK, including Northern Island and the Channel Islands. Please note that some cakes are for London delivery only (Cheesecake & Esterhazy), we can deliver those on demand, please email us on shop@kipferl.co.uk
Can I have a delivery on the same day?
We can hire a local courier in London who can pick up and deliver the same day if the cake is available, although this comes at an extra cost. Please call us on 02039037247 to arrange. (Restaurant: 02077041555)
When should I order if I want delivery on a certain day?
For London deliveries inside the M25, we deliver every day from Tuesday to Friday, and we can guarantee a certain delivery date. Please respect the minimum order time, if you give us 2-3 days in advance we can always make sure it arrives on the specified day.
For UK wide deliveries: We use a Next Day Delivery DHL service that delivers Tuesday to Friday. Please place your order at least 3 working days before your required delivery date.

Why are some of the cakes London only?
All of our cakes can be sent to London postcode's inside the M25. A local courier (Packfleet) will handle the delivery.
For UK wide delivery we use a next day postal courier and the more fragile cakes like Esterhazy and Cheesecake may not arrive without damage, hence the restriction to London postcodes. All other cakes can be ordered for UK delivery. If you are happy to receive the cake with the possibility of cosmetic damage, then please email us at shop@kipferl.co.uk and we will consider your request.
How much does your delivery cost?
Our delivery charge is £4.95 for all orders.

How long do your Austrian Cakes last?
All our cakes are made fresh to order in our London kitchen and have at least 3 days shelf life when they arrive. Less creamy ones like the Linzer or Sachertorte will last even longer (over 6 days)

We recommend keeping all cakes in the fridge to keep them fresh for longer, only the Kipferl and the Gugelhupf will not need refrigeration.

Most of our cakes can be frozen as a whole or in pieces. We do not recommend freezing the creamy cakes like Esterhazy, Maronitorte and Cheesecake though.
