ABOUT OUR PRODUCT

Where can I find the ingredient and nutritional information for your products?

Our nutritional information can be found here

How long will my product retain its quality and freshness?

Our products are all natural which means they do not contain artificial ingredients or preservatives. Therefore, they should be enjoyed within 2 weeks of receipt or kept frozen for future consumption. The frozen shelf life of all of our products is at least 6 months. Unless they are to be consumed right away, it's always a good idea to store them frozen. Freezing and thawing (even a few times) will not affect the quality.

Is there a detailed ingredient list for those with allergies?

Our nutritional information can be found here. Contact us at orders@silverlandbakery.com for per flavor allergen statements. 

Do your products contain nuts?

Currently, we are using peanuts and tree nuts in some of our treats. We take measures to ensure that there is no cross contamination of ingredients; however given the presence of nuts in our bakery there is always a chance that nut-free products could come into contact with nuts and/or their by-products. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail a Customer Service Representative at orders@silverlandbakery.com or 708-488-0800

What time of the day will my package arrive?

UPS will deliver from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Typically they will deliver to businesses first, and then to residential addresses.

Does UPS require a signature for delivery?

Residential addresses typically do not require a signature. HOWEVER, if there is no one there to accept the package, and the UPS driver does not feel comfortable leaving it for any reason, s/he is not required to leave the package. UPS will make three delivery attempts before returning the package to Athena’s Silverland Desserts. UPS will leave a note on the door following each delivery attempt. Business addresses do require a signature, but not necessarily from the recipient whose name is on the box. Anyone in the building is able to sign for the package.

Can I specify an exact arrival date?

Yes! The web site will ask for you to do just that. Athena’s Silverland Desserts will ensure that your goodies are baked and shipped in time to arrive by your chosen date.

Where do you ship from?

Our bakery is located in Forest Park, Illinois, just outside Chicago.

How do I track my package?

PLACING AN ORDER

How far in advance can I place my order?

As early as you'd like! We will always accept early orders. We'll be sure not to bake your order or charge your credit card until just before the scheduled arrival date - that way, your goodies will arrive fresh!

If I place my order today will it arrive by tomorrow?

For Same Day Shipping, call a Customer Service representative at 708-488-0800 before 12pm CST to place your order. This does not mean, however, that your order will arrive that day. See our Shipping Policy for information on UPS transit times. ALL packages traveling outside the Midwest, MUST ship UPS Next Day Air in order for the goodies to arrive the following business day.

Can I fax my order to you or send it via e-mail?

Of course! We try to make the ordering process as simple as possible. If you feel more comfortable faxing or e-mailing an order, you can FAX all order information to 708-488-0894 or orders@silverlandbakery.com.
