Single Chocolate Cupcake: One Hand-Baked Moment in Its Own Branded Box One hand-baked chocolate cupcake, packed in its own Flower Guy branded box, finished with a real rose and a soft dusting of edible glitter. The chocolate sibling to our Single Vanilla Cupcake and the entry-tier add-on for anyone whose recipient leans toward chocolate, not vanilla. Made fresh on the morning of dispatch by our home bakers in Cape Town, and available as an add-on to your flowers, hamper or gift order for same-day Cape Town delivery. What Is In the Single Chocolate Cupcake 1 x hand-baked chocolate cupcake rich, moist chocolate sponge topped with smooth chocolate buttercream, baked fresh that morning by our team. A real rose on top a fresh rose from our florist team placed on the buttercream, our signature finish. Edible glitter dusting a fine layer of food-safe pink and gold shimmer over the buttercream. One Flower Guy branded box the cupcake arrives in its own keepsake box, designed to be opened slowly. The exact rose colour rotates with what is at peak from our florists each morning. We always honour the real-rose-and-glitter finish. If you have a specific colour or palette request, mention it at checkout or email hello@flowerguy.co.za. How To Add It To Your Order The Single Chocolate Cupcake is an add-on only. It does not ship on its own. Add it to a birthday flower bouquet, a just because send, a Mother's Day flower arrangement, or any of our gift hampers, and we will tuck the box alongside the main gift. Browse the wider same-day flower delivery range to choose what to pair it with. For client thank-yous and small corporate sends, the single chocolate cupcake is a popular add-on to our luxury corporate gifts. When To Send a Single Chocolate Cupcake The single is the love-note tier. It is the gift for the colleague who deserves a quiet thank-you on a Tuesday. For a birthday for her when the bouquet is the main moment and you want one perfect chocolate bite waiting too. For the partner who has had a long week and prefers chocolate over flowers as the sweetener. For the recipient whose love language is "I remembered you like chocolate, not vanilla." One cupcake in one branded box is small on purpose, because it is the small things that land hardest. The Story Behind the Chocolate Twin The Single Vanilla Cupcake was the original. Customers kept asking us for the chocolate version, because some recipients are chocolate people through and through. So our home bakery built the chocolate twin to match: same hand-baking process, same Flower Guy branded box, same fresh real-rose finish, same fine edible glitter dusting. The only thing that changes is the sponge and the buttercream. Whether you choose vanilla or chocolate is now just a question of who you are sending it to. For the chocolate person on the other end. The one who would always pick chocolate over vanilla, every time. Delivery: Cape Town Same-Day Only The Single Chocolate Cupcake is freshly baked and perishable, so it delivers in Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. We deliver across Claremont, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia, Newlands, Rondebosch, Green Point, the City Bowl, the Southern Suburbs and the wider Cape Town network. As a fresh bakery item it does NOT ship by nationwide courier. If you are sending a gift to another province, the cupcake add-on is not available on those orders. Our nationwide gift hampers, chocolate boxes and biltong gifts ship across South Africa instead. How To Enjoy It Enjoy the cupcake the day it arrives for best taste and freshness. The real rose on top is decorative only and should be removed before eating. The edible glitter is food-safe and tastes of nothing. Store sealed at cool room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and consume within 24 hours of delivery. If your recipient cannot eat it straight away, refrigerate the unopened box and bring it back to room temperature before serving so the chocolate buttercream softens. Why Order From Flower Guy Flower Guy is a Cape Town florist and gifting brand, and our home bakery is part of the team, baking fresh every morning. If one cupcake is not enough, the Three Chocolate Cupcakes set covers small family sharing and is the natural step up. If your recipient leans vanilla instead, the Single Vanilla Cupcake is the flavour twin. For a cupcake-led standalone gift, the Cupcake Bloom Box pairs cupcakes with fresh blooms in one box.

Questions, allergies, future-dated orders, email hello@flowerguy.co.za. Frequently Asked Questions Can I order the Single Chocolate Cupcake on its own? No. The Single Chocolate Cupcake is an add-on only. It must be added to a flower bouquet, gift hamper, vase arrangement or other gift order in your cart. We do not deliver cupcakes as standalone items. If you want a cupcake-led gift, the Cupcake Bloom Box is our standalone cupcakes-with-flowers product. What kind of chocolate is it? Rich chocolate sponge with smooth chocolate buttercream, baked fresh by our Cape Town bakery team. Not a fondant or ganache finish. Soft, moist, indulgent and built to feel like a proper celebration bite, not a snack cupcake. What is the difference between the chocolate and the vanilla single? Only the sponge and the buttercream. Same individual branded box, same real rose on top, same edible glitter finish, same hand-baking process. Choose by recipient: vanilla for the lighter palate, chocolate for the chocolate lovers. Where do you deliver the cupcake? Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. As a freshly baked perishable item, the cupcake does NOT ship by nationwide courier. Is the rose on top safe to eat? The rose is decorative only. It is a fresh rose from our florist team, placed on the buttercream for the photogenic finish. Remove the rose before eating the cupcake. The edible glitter is food-safe and can be eaten. What allergies should I be aware of? The cupcake contains wheat, eggs, dairy, cocoa and traces of nuts (our bakery is not a nut-free facility). For severe nut, gluten, dairy or chocolate allergies, do not add this to your order. Email hello@flowerguy.co.za if you want to discuss alternatives. How long does it stay fresh? Best enjoyed the day it arrives. Stored sealed at cool room temperature, it holds for up to 24 hours. If your recipient cannot eat it right away, refrigerate the unopened box and bring it back to room temperature before serving so the chocolate buttercream is at its softest. The texture is at its peak in the first 24 hours. Can I order it for a future date? Yes. Select your preferred delivery date at checkout on the main gift you are adding the cupcake to. The cupcake is freshly baked the morning of dispatch, so it always arrives fresh on the chosen day. For birthdays, Mother's Day and Valentine's, book at least a day or two ahead. What occasion is this best for? Small, personal moments. A solo birthday surprise. A "thinking of you" send. A thank-you to a colleague. A quiet anniversary marker. An apology when words alone are not enough. The single chocolate cupcake is built for one chocolate-loving recipient, one small moment of being remembered. Can I order more than one? For small sharing, see the Three Chocolate Cupcakes set. For family birthdays and team sends, we are building out the chocolate range to match our vanilla ladder. Email hello@flowerguy.co.za if you need a specific quantity for an event and we will see what the bakery can do for your date.
