Storage & Serving
-
- Dacaron™ can be frozen, or refrigerated (0-5 degrees celsius). They last up to 14 days refrigerated (covered and individually sealed, 7 days in an open display), and up to 6 months frozen.
- At room temperature, we recommend keeping Dacaron™ covered for up to 3 days (depending on weather and temperature, since there is buttercream in between Dacaron™ can last 2-4 days).
- If storing for more than 4 days, we recommend keeping Dacarons™ frozen in temperatures below -18 degrees celsius, and away from the freezer door. To prevent scent-contamination and drying out, when storing Dacaron™ in fridge/ freezer, please use an airtight container or a ziploc bag to keep fresher for longer.
-
If frozen/ refrigerated, leave them at room temp for 10-20 mins before serving. Buttercream should be slightly softened. Inside should be soft & cake-like and outside a slight crisp.
-
- Protein Cake Cups / Dacquoise Cake Boxes can be kept frozen, or refrigerated. They last up to 11 days refrigerated, and up to 6 months frozen. If stored for more than 7 days, we recommend keeping in the freezer below 18 degrees celsius, covered and away from the freezer door for optimal freshness
- If frozen leave them at refrigerated temperature for 20 mins to thaw and soften before serving. The cream should be softened to a pudding-like texture (enough to loose its shape and form if poked).
- After refrigeration, the cake cup should be consumed right away! We rely on low temperature to keep the structure and viscosity of the product without using additives or preservatives. It is recommended to consume immediately after refrigeration.

- We take enormous pride in every product we offer and strive to deliver them in the best possible condition on the requested delivery date. While there are many things we do to mitigate the risk of shipping fresh and frozen food, there are unfortunately some things outside of our control like the weather and transit delays once the package is in the hands of Purolator or UPS. As such, the shipping guidelines published on this website are not guarantees of a shipping or arrival date.
- We are unable to guarantee the time of delivery, as this is all subject to the local carrier. Most carriers will deliver packages anytime between 8 am-10 pm. If you are placing an order for a time-sensitive event, we recommend placing your order early and scheduling it to arrive 2+ days before your event. A majority of our products can be frozen or refrigerated upon arrival to preserve freshness.
-
- Each shipped product will be individually sealed in a plastic bag and cushioned by packing materials. If the package arrives within standard shipping time, the products will be completely fresh.
- There is a chance that the delivery may arrive late or package may arrive damaged due to unforseen delays or extreme weather conditions* -- if your package arrives damaged or in poor condition, you must contact the shipping carrier to file a complaint. *Unfortunately, we do not have control once the package has left us and we do not claim responsibility for damage during shipping!*
-
- In anticipation of high package volumes (especially during holidays) or other uncontrollable events, we may have your order shipped early to ensure that it arrives in good condition. Earthling reserves the right to schedule the arrival of your order earlier or later than estimated to prevent delays, based on operational conditions.
- Earthling is not responsible for delays in transit caused by high package volume, weather, mechanical error, strikes, natural disasters, terrorism safety control, local carrier mis-scans or inaccurate/incomplete shipping information, and we do not require a signature for the release of any shipment. Leaving a package at an address is ultimately up to the complete discretion of the individual delivery person and is therefore entirely outside our control. We provide a tracking number for you to accurately keep track with the courier once the item has been shipped.
- Customers are responsible for checking that all shipping information and contact information is correct before submitting an order as well as in their order confirmation email. If you need to modify the delivery address once your order has shipped, a $10 address change processing fee will apply to your order. Once an address modification is requested, carriers require one business day to process the change, which may delay the package. Earthling is not responsible for delays in transit caused by address modification.
- There are no returns, refunds, or cancellations allowed on any orders that have shipped or have entered into fulfillment.
- All packages are shipped via UPS or Purolator and therefore we cannot ship to P.O. Box addresses.
About Dacaron™
-
Earthling's Dacaron™ is an almond meringue pastry re-invented from the traditional French Dacquoise, which is a layered nut-meringue cake. The cake is believed to have originated in the 17th century, when it was invented as a luxurious dessert for the people of the French court.*
The biscuit--or the "shell"--part of the cookie is also called dacquoise (pronounced dak-kwaz). The hand-held, oval-shaped, or small-sized dacquoise "sandwich cookies" became popularized in East Asia, after this traditional French pastry made its way into the luxurious bakery cafés of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. This form of dacquoise is a perfect size for sharing, and shares the advantage of its more well-known cousin--the macaron--of being able to made into many different flavours.
Earthling's Korean-style Dacaron™ is oval-shaped, filled to the brim with delicious buttercreams, often incorporating many traditional flavours such as matcha, yuzu, and black sesame.
-
Dacaron™ has a slight crunchy exterior with a very soft, melt-in-your-mouth pastry layer, and a light buttercream centre. It is not quite a cookie, and not quite a cake. The exterior of the pastry is slightly crispy due to the sugar, but the interior is incredibly light and soft. Once left out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, it has the perfect texture reminiscent of a fluffly cloud (with a crisp exterior!).
-
Dacaron™ is not-too-sweet! While its more popular cousin--the macaron--is known for being exceptionally sweet, dacquoise is perfectly balanced in sweetness and delivers more satisfaction as a pastry rather than a confection. In the words of Brenda at Pistachio Picks,
-
Dacaron™'s dacquoise shell is made by first creating a stiff meringue peak, folding in our special blend of dry ingredients including almond flour, sugar, and rice flour, then piping them onto uniform oval-shaped moulds or into any shapes. Depending on the recipe, this base can be made into different sizes, textures, and shapes. Then, the meringue mixture is baked at a low, consistent temperature to create "shells" with the perfect crispy exterior. The "shells" are then stored overnight to set. This final step that completes the shells ensures that they are not too weak or crumbly, and also stabilizes the structure of the shell so that it can be assembled with ease, using buttercream or fresh cream. The shells are laid out, chosen (with its perfect size/ shape match), then filled with buttercream, homemade jams, or fresh whipped cream. The final assembled dacquoise sandwich cookie is kept cold overnight in the freezer to ensure that the two shells are binding.
-
