About 8-Ply Cakes

8-ply cakes are shipped as two complementary 4-ply cakes. The cakes are not identical; each contains a different portion of the color sequence. When worked together, they create a smooth, continuous gradient across all 8 strands.

Please note:

Color Representation: We do our best to show colors as accurately as possible, but please keep in mind that shades may look slightly different in person due to individual screen settings, monitor calibration, or lighting conditions.
All cakes are hand-wound with care: Slight variation is part of the handmade process and adds to the unique character of each piece.
