Care Instructions for Cakes and Desserts

  • Storage:
    • Keep cakes and desserts in a cool, dry place.
    • If the cake contains fresh cream, buttercream, or other perishable fillings, refrigerate immediately.
  • Serving Temperature:
    • Remove the cake from the refrigerator 30–60 minutes before serving to allow it to come to room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
    • Desserts like cupcakes, cookies, or brownies are best enjoyed at room temperature.
  • Handling:
    • Handle the cake with care, especially while transporting. Keep it on a flat surface in your vehicle and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
    • Always hold desserts gently to avoid smudging decorations or damaging delicate designs.
  • Cutting the Cake:
    • Use a clean, sharp knife for cutting. Wipe the knife between slices for cleaner cuts.
    • For tiered cakes, remove support dowels and non-edible decorations before serving.
  • Leftovers:
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
    • Consume refrigerated cakes and desserts within 3–5 days for optimal taste and quality.
  • Avoid Heat and Sunlight:
    • Do not leave cakes or desserts in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in a warm car, as this may cause frosting to melt or decorations to shift.
  • Edible Decorations:
    • Some cakes may contain edible decorations such as sugar flowers or toppers. These can be delicate, so handle with care.
  • Non-Edible Items:
    • For cakes containing non-edible decorations like dowels, toppers, or toothpicks, ensure these are removed before serving.
By following these instructions, you can enjoy your Sugaholic desserts at their very best!
