General FAQs

What are CAKES™?

Designed for comfort, ease, and feeling free–CAKES™ are so much more than a nipple cover... And CAKES body® is so much more than a nipple cover brand.

CAKES body® is a leader in the boob solution space, defining a new category that helps women feel free to dress in a way that supports the best version of themselves.

What size CAKES™ should I wear?

From smallest to largest, the products come in Itty Bitty, OG, and (+). We recommend that you choose your size based on the desired amount of coverage.

Overall, OG is the most versatile size and fits most. If you are 38E or larger and want a standard amount of coverage, we recommend CAKES (+). If you are a 32A or smaller and want a standard amount of coverage, we recommend Itty Bitty.

Learn more by visiting our comprehensive CAKES Size Guide.

What color CAKES™ should I get?

CAKES™ currently come in three colors. Our light shade is Honey, our medium shade is Caramel, and our Deep shade is Cocoa.

When to wear: Grippy CAKES™ vs Sticky CAKES™?

We recommend that Grippy CAKES™ be worn under tight-fitting tops for workout and swim, because they are adhesive-free and reusable. We recommend that Sticky CAKES™ be used with everything else, especially flowy tops, because the gentle adhesive provides secure coverage.

What's the difference between Sticky and Grippy CAKES™?

Sticky CAKES™ feature a silicone adhesive with an adhesive-free center (AKA the Nip Nook™) to ensure secure coverage without ripping your nips off!; Grippy CAKES™ cling with natural body heat and have no adhesive.

CAKES Tape™

Our innovative lifting boob tape.

Is CAKES Tape™ reusable?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is designed for multiple wears and can be repositioned during application for customizable shape and lift—something traditional one-time-use boob tapes don’t offer.

How many wears do I get per piece of CAKES Tape™?

CAKES Tape™ is engineered and tested for up to 3 wears for optimal performance. With proper care, many customers extend usage beyond that. Reuse may vary based on skin type, moisture, and activity.

Can I reposition CAKES Tape™?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is the only repositionable boob tape designed to make application easier, allowing you to adjust placement until you achieve your ideal lift and shape.

What makes CAKES Tape™ different from other boob tapes?

Unlike traditional boob tapes made from rigid cloth materials, CAKES Tape™ is crafted from smooth silicone that moves with your body. Fabric tapes can bunch, wrinkle, and show through clothing, while CAKES Tape™ lays flatter against the skin for a more seamless, comfortable look under clothing.

Will CAKES Tape™ lift and support?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is designed to lift, shape, and support your breasts for a secure, sculpted look. By adjusting placement and layering strips, you can customize your lift and cleavage depending on your outfit and desired shape.

Does CAKES Tape™ work for larger busts?

Yes. Because CAKES Tape™ allows you to customize placement and layer strips, it can provide support for a wide range of bust sizes. Many customers find layering strips helps enhance lift and structure.

Can I wear CAKES Tape™ with different outfits?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is designed to work with strapless, backless, plunging, and asymmetrical outfits. Because you control the placement of each strip, you can tailor the lift and coverage to suit your look.

Is CAKES Tape™ safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is designed with skin compatibility in mind. Patch tested and dermatologist reviewed, CAKES Tape™ is crafted from non-toxic silicone & adhesive for comfortable wear.

Is CAKES Tape™ beginner friendly?

Yes. CAKES Tape™ is designed to be easier to apply than traditional boob tape. Its repositionable design allows you to adjust placement during application until you achieve your ideal lift and shape.

How do I prevent CAKES Tape™ from sticking to itself during application?

Slowly peel back the liner as you press the tape onto your skin, applying and peeling at the same time for better control and placement. Once applied, press and hold along the entire strip for 5 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.

How do I remove CAKES Tape™ safely?

Removal is simple. While holding your skin in place, slowly and gently peel the tape away from your body one piece at a time. If you applied multiple strips, start by removing the top layer first. CAKES Tape™ is designed to remove cleanly, so oil or adhesive remover is not required.

CAKES Cleavage™ bra

Our best-selling sticky bra.

How should the CAKES Cleavage™ bra be applied?

1. Peel off the protective backing from the CAKES Cleavage™ bra. Save backing for later storage. This product comes in two separate pieces. Do not clasp the cups together just yet.

2. Ensure your skin is clean and free of lotions or oils. Apply each piece, one at a time, placing each cup loosely on your breast (logo side up). Position the wing near your armpit. Fit tip! Placing the cups farther apart will enhance the cleavage effect.

3. Starting at the wing, press and smooth the product onto your breast. Try not to re-position once the bra is stuck, to preserve the adhesive.

4. Once both cups are secure, pull them together and clasp for show-stopping cleavage.

How to choose the right size?

Find your fit using your band + cup size and the CAKES Cleavage™ bra size guide.

Does the CAKES Cleavage™ bra give lift?

No, this product is a seamless, sculpting solution designed to enhance cleavage.

Is the CAKES Cleavage™ bra sticky?

Yes! The inside is gently sticky—that’s the part that adheres to your skin. We use a non-toxic silicone-based adhesive for secure, safe, and comfortable wearability. The CAKES Cleavage™ bra was also designed with a razor-thin matte silicone to provide more secure hold—without sacrificing the gentle nature of our adhesive.

Which way should the CAKES Cleavage™ bra be worn?

For the best fit, the logo should be placed on the top outer area of your breast, facing outward. The sticky side goes directly on your skin, and the clasp (once hooked together) should sit right in the center of your chest.

How does the CAKES Cleavage™ bra give cleavage?

The silicone shaping cups, tapered “wings” & center clasp are what sculpt & bring everything together—the farther apart you apply the cups, the more dramatic cleavage when clasped.

CAKES Lift™

The nipple cover that lifts.

What sizes does CAKES Lift™ come in, and how do I pick mine?

Small/Med fits A–C cups, and Large fits D–DD cups. Choose based on your usual bra size for the best fit and lift.

How should CAKES Lift™ be applied?

Step 1
Remove from packaging. Peel the backing off the breast cover and apply to clean, dry skin — no lotion or oils.

Step 2
Position CAKES Lift™ on your breast, centering the Nip Nook™ over your nipple. The lifting tab should face upwards. Press to adhere the nipple cover portion to your breast.

Step 3
Once positioned and secure, pull upward on the lifting tab. Once you’ve achieved your desired lift, press and hold for 5 seconds to lock your look in place. Smooth down all edges. Press and hold for 5 seconds to help secure the lift.

Step 4
Adjust placement if needed to customize lift and cleavage for the outfit.

What kind of outfits is CAKES Lift™ best for?

CAKES Lift™ pairs well with backless, plunging and open-back styles when you want lift without visible bra straps or bulky cups.

Will CAKES Lift™ show under clothing?

The smooth silicone exterior is designed to create a seamless look under most fabrics, helping your outfit—not your support solution—take center stage.

How is CAKES Lift™ different from boob tape?

CAKES Lift™ is a nipple cover that lifts — so you get 3-in-1 lift, shape, and coverage in one step. Prefer to customize your lift strip by strip? That's what CAKES Tape™ is for. Want the whole thing handled in one piece? That's CAKES Lift™.

How many times can I reuse CAKES Lift™?

Up to 5+ wears when you rinse with warm water after each use, let it fully air dry, and store it on the original plastic backing.

Can I wear CAKES Lift™ for workouts or swimming?

No — it's designed for braless, everyday and special-occasion looks, not for workouts, heavy sweat/heat, or swimming.

How do I remove CAKES Lift™ without irritation?

Gently peel from the edges after use — no ripping required. Rinse, air dry, and store for your next wear.

Why choose CAKES Lift™ over other lifting covers?

CAKES Lift™ was thoughtfully designed to solve the biggest frustrations with traditional lifting solutions. Longer lifting tabs provide more lifting surface for a stronger, more customizable lift, while our signature Nip Nook™ keeps adhesive away from the most sensitive area for added comfort. Finished with a soft silicone exterior for a smooth, seamless look under clothing, CAKES Lift™ delivers effortless lift, comfortable wear, and simple application—all in one reusable product.

Does CAKES Lift™ leave sticky residue?

When removed and cared for as directed, CAKES Lift™ is designed to peel away cleanly.

Does CAKES Lift™ replace my everyday bra?

Think of CAKES Lift™ as a styling solution rather than an everyday bra. It’s made for outfits where a traditional bra would get in the way.

CAKES Corset Cami by TA3™

Limited edition shapewear collaboration

What size should I get?

The CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ comes in 6 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
To find your perfect fit, please refer to our SIZE GUIDE.

Who is TA3™?

TA3™ is a viral, female-founded fashion brand that specializes in mega-sculpting garments that lift, sculpt, AND smooth. So when we thought about designing our first CAKES™ corset, we knew exactly who to call—TA3! Founded by our friend (and fellow Shark Tank alumn), Leila Shams, we're so excited to share the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ with you. Our first-ever brand collaboration!

How does the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ feel when wearing it?

This corset is unapologetically structured for maximum support & instant transformation. When putting it on (we recommend you step into the garmet, instead of pulling it on over your head), it should feel tight going over your hips and snug overall. This is due to its supportive design. Once the corset is fully laced and tightened, it is designed to feel compressive and waist-snatching. The fabric is buttery soft on the skin for the ultimate sleek fit.

What is the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ made of?

The CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ is crafted with compressive, powermesh fabric, designed to sculpt and shape your curves. Fabric contents: SELF (POWERMESH) 72% NYLON/28% SPANDEX, CONTRAST (CB BACK PANEL) : 95% POLYAMIDE, 5% SPANDEX, (CUP LINING) 86% POLYESTER, 14% SPANDEX

Can the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ be used as shapewear?

Yes! We love the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ for its versatility. Designed to be worn on its own as a show-stopping top, or layered under clothing for shaping and support, this corset can be styled both ways.

How do you put on the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™?

SHORT VERSION:

-Loosen ties and step into. Will be tight going over hips.
-Insert CAKES™, and adjust straps.
-Tighten lacing and tuck ties into back mesh panel for a smooth look.
-To take off, untuck ties and loosen, then step out.

EXTENDED VERSION:

1- SHIMMY ON
Loosen the lacing as much as possible, step in and shimmy on the top. It should feel tight on your hips and snug when pulling it on due to its supportive design.
2- PULL UP
Pull the top up so that the arm holes are just under your arms. If the top is too low, it won't fit properly.
3- INSERT CAKES & ADJUST STRAPS
Once the top is in the correct spot, insert CAKES™ and tighten the shoulder straps so everything stays in place.
4- CINCH
Keep the ties loose at the top so they don't flatten your chest.
Pull the ties and tighten at your waist to form a V-shape.
Tuck ties into back mesh panel for a smooth look.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Optional or QR code to explainer video/FAQ)
BUST SPILLAGE
If there is spillage out of the sides, the top may be too small.

LACING TOO CLOSE
If the lacing on your top is too close together, or doesn't form a V-shape, your top may be too big.

NECKLINE TOO LOW
If the neckline of your top is too low, or there is spillage under your arms, pull the top up and tighten the shoulder straps.

How does the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ snatch and lift?

TO SNATCH: TA3’s signature waist-snatching lacing is thoughtfully built-in to the inside of this corset. Pull the lacing tight to cinch the waist, and tie in a bow to secure. Tuck the bow into the hidden back pocket for a snatched silhouettte and smooth finish.

TO LIFT: We designed this cami with underwire cups that support up to an F-cup. For additional support, you can adjust the shoulder straps (by shortening or criss-crossinging in the back), for customizable lift.

Does the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ prevent Nipple Freak Out?

While the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™ is fully lined, the top does not hide the look of protruding nipples. We intentionally designed the bralette top to pair perfectly with grippy CAKES™ triangles for custom coverage—so you can free the nip when you want, or insert CAKES™ for a snatched AND seamless look.

What CAKES should I pair with the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™?

We intentionally designed the bralette top to pair perfectly with grippy CAKES triangles. Our patent(s)-pending triangle shaped nipple covers provide sleek coverage under deep-v necklines, like the CAKES™ Corset Cami by TA3™.
