Our advice for longer lasting freshness.
When it comes to indulging in the scrumptious creations from our bakery, preserving their taste and texture is key. Proper storage ensures that every slice you enjoy is as delightful as the first. Here are some tips to keep your cakes in their prime:
The Fridge Is Your Friend
For cakes with creamy fillings or frostings, refrigeration is a must. It helps maintain the cake’s shape and prevents the frosting from melting. However, make sure to cover the cake with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing any odors.
Embrace Airtight Containers
For cakes that don’t require refrigeration, such as those with a fluffy sponge base, airtight containers are a game-changer. They shield your cake from air exposure, which can lead to drying out. Choose containers that are slightly larger than the cake to prevent the frosting from getting damaged.
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat
Cakes are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as they can cause the frosting to melt and the cake layers to become too soft. Find a cool, dry spot for your cake storage.
Freezing for Future Delights
If you’ve ordered more cake than you can savor right away, freezing can be your ally. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a sealed freezer bag. Thaw slices in the refrigerator overnight before indulging.
Handle with Care
When storing tiered or intricately decorated cakes, exercise caution. Use toothpicks to support delicate decorations and prevent them from sticking to the wrapping. Gently place the cake in the storage container and avoid applying pressure on decorative elements.
With these simple steps, you can savor the flavors and joy of your cake delights over an extended period. Proper storage not only maintains the taste but also adds a sprinkle of happiness to every bite. Happy cake indulging!
