And now the latest from Accuweather: It's freakin' hot out there. Actually, their current headline reads, "Heat stretches from sea to scorching sea." If I was running the site, I'd take everything down and run the following:
Freaking hot.
Stay indoors.
Plus the ads, of course, because they've got to pay the bills.
Extreme heat is the mortal enemy of many a baked good, in particular the cheesecake, which wilts like the Red Sox pitching when Oakland is in town. Our customer research indicates that our customers prefer a cake-shaped cheesecake to a box containing a puddle of cheesecake goo, so we're suspending shipments of them until things cool down a bit. Once the temperature gets below 85 degrees in Chicago, we're all set.
As for the rest of our products, feel free to order them with confidence. Our tarts and layer cakes ship with dry ice, so they stay nice and cool in transit. Most of our cookies and all of our breads and croissants laugh at these rising temperatures in a way that I wish I could.
You can help our baked friends during this hot spell by having them sent to a daytime address where someone will be available to receive them and take them to a cool place. We're still waiving signature on all of our shipments, but the super-perishable stuff, such as tarts and petits fours, will be happier if its not left outside for a few hours.
