A Little Bit More About Our Cakes And How We Got Started:
The idea for single portion chocolate cake stemmed from a constant demand for sweets within our home. Michelle’s husband, Dean, has little restraint when it comes to portion control. When cake is available, he has no limits and ends up consuming the entire thing in one sitting. Jarva Cakes allow Dean to indulge in his cravings without sacrificing his tastebuds but limiting guilt in his gut. The trademark name "jarva cake" comes from "lava cake in jar". In 2013, we started out packaging our cakes in 4 oz. mason jars. As time went on, our customers' only complaint was wanting a larger cake, so we decided to convert our packaging to the ripple cup we use today. In addition to holding more cake, the ripple cup is more user friendly and lighter to ship.
