Campus Drop · University of Richmond Area

Miss them? Send cupcakes.

That missing-them feeling doesn't take weekends off. Send a hug in a box: a half-dozen, scratch-made cupcakes baked by a Richmond area mom who is also missing her college freshman, in red and navy game day colors, hand delivered to your student on campus. No shipping box, no week-old cookies, and no delivery app fees.

How It Works

Order today, delivery Sunday 10/25

Pre-order online

Reserve your box before orders close Friday, October 23 at 3:00 PM. At checkout, tell us your student's name and cell number.

We bake fresh

Every cupcake is baked from scratch just before the delivery. Not frozen, not shipped, not sitting in a warehouse.

Sunday 10/25 hand off

We text your student the meetup spot for Sunday, October 25, 3:00-4:00 PM, and hand them the box personally. Then we text you a photo of the hand-off, so you see the smile for yourself.

Why Babycakes

Better than a shipping box

Baked fresh, delivered fresh

Mail-order treats spend 2-5 days in transit and cost $50-$80 delivered. Ours go from our kitchen to your student's hands the same trip.

A real small business, not an app

Babycakes is a family-run Virginia bakery. The person handing your student their box is the person who baked it.

$35, and that's it

The price on the box is the price you pay. No delivery fee, no service fee, no tip prompt, no surprise checkout math.

You get the photo

At our September campus drop, we snapped a photo of every hand-off and texted it to the family who ordered. Parents told us it made their whole week, so now it comes with every box.

Questions

Good to know

Where exactly is the hand-off?

A central, easy-to-reach spot on campus. We pick the exact location closer to drop day. Hand-off runs 3:00-4:00 PM on Sunday, October 25. We text the exact location to your student (and email you) once orders close.

What about allergens?

Our cupcakes contain wheat, milk, eggs, and soy, and are made in a home kitchen that also processes peanuts and tree nuts. Every box is individually labeled with full ingredient and allergen information.

Will there be more drops after this one?

That's the plan. This is our first Richmond drop, and after the success of our September Blacksburg drop we expect to be back on a regular schedule. See all campus drops, and follow @babycakesrva to hear about the next one first.

Can I order for myself instead of a student?

Absolutely: parents in town for the weekend, locals, students treating themselves. Anyone can order; the hand-off works the same way.

Limited Boxes

Make their whole week from miles away

You can't be there for every Sunday, but a Campus Box says you are thinking of them. Pre-orders close Friday, October 23 at 3:00 PM.
