The Get Well Gift That Doesn't Require a Pharmacy Trip

Signature is required upon delivery to ensure fresh-baked quality. Just gourmet, fresh-baked cake slices paired with your warm get-well note.

Practical Notes for Sending Get Well Gifts
Hospital Deliveries
Most hospital mailrooms do not accept fresh food deliveries directly to the wards, and courier systems can get delayed. We strongly recommend sending the Cake Card to the recipient's residential address so it welcomes them home once they are discharged.
Perishable Freshness
Catarina cake slices are baked to order and best enjoyed within 5-7 days of arrival. If the recipient is undergoing immediate surgery and unable to consume solid foods for a few days, consider timing the delivery for later in their recovery window.
Surprise Considerations
A surprise card is a beautiful moment, but if the recipient is in a difficult space or recovering heavily, a quick warning text letting them know a package is coming might be helpful.
