Fret not, I don’t think you’re being pernickety.

Do pre-order the Vegan Dark Choc Raspberry Cake online as LOCABA bakes all their cakes to order. Since the cakes do not contain any artificial preservatives, they do not have any cakes in stock. Still, I’d say it’s worth the little bit of pre-planning to order at least one day in advance before 6pm. 

You can opt for self-collection or have the cake delivered to you.
