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.
