Just think your party or occasion is postponed for tomorrow, and your spongy cake is at your door with flawless icing, how can you preserve it? Let’s share the tips to keep your cake fresh after delivery:   

Which cake flavour did you order?

The flavour of cake depends on how it can be stored. Focus on the following facts: 

  • The cakes with the flavours of buttercream can be easily stored at room temperature for a night. What you have to take care of is the neatness of the storage place. 

  • It needs to be kept in the refrigerator overnight if it contains fresh fruit toppings, mousse, or creamed toppings.

Storage of Cake at Room Temperature

You need to make a special space for your cake storage by following the mentioned points, which will keep your cake fresh after delivery:  

  • Keep you covered properly and make sure its icing is not destroyed. 

  • Just keep your cake away from direct heat, light or sunlight and any wetness to secure its flavours. 

  • Just try to enjoy the whole cake at a time, as the half-cut cake loses moisture and flavour. 

Storage of Cake in the Refrigerator

You need to maintain proper refrigeration for the cakes decorated with selected toppings. It will preserve its appearance as well as taste for a long time. The chilled toppings of the cakes are basically: mousse, cream cheese frosting, whipped cream and fruit toppings. You can preserve these cakes fresh by following the steps mentioned below:  

  • Let the cake cool down when it is delivered freshly to your doorstep.

  • Once cooled, keep the cake in an airtight container.

  • Remove the cake from the fridge before cutting or serving to soften and preserve flavour.     

What About Freezing?

You don't have to freeze for one night. Either leftover slices or long-term storage are the best options. If you decide to freeze portions:

  • Choose the right-sized airtight container for refrigerating your cake.

  • Before serving, allow it to come to room temperature after thawing overnight in the refrigerator.
