Care and Serving Instructions

HOW DO I STORE MY CAKE?

If you are not going to serve your cake within an hour or two of purchase, the cake needs to be stored in the refrigerator on a flat surface. Take your cake out of the refrigerator about an hour before serving, but do not keep the cake at room temperature for more than a couple of hours and never leave the cake in the heat. The same goes for overnight, keep your cake in the refrigerator but you need to be careful with powerful smells that might seep into your cake. Watch out for onions or garlic. 

It is also important to store your cake on a flat surface. Since our cakes are 6 layers, a crooked cake board can result in a crooked cake. keeping the cake on a flat surface will keep your cake straight and beautiful!

HOW DO I STORE MY ICE CREAM/FROZEN CAKE?

If you are not going to serve your cake within 20 minutes of purchase, the cake needs to be stored in the freezer on a flat surface. Take your cake out about 10 minutes before serving, but do not keep the cake at room temperature for more than 20 minutes and never leave the cake in the heat. The same goes for overnight, keep your cake in the freezer but you need to be careful with powerful smells that might seep into your cake. Watch out for onions or garlic. 

We also recommend keeping it wrapped in something airtight

It is also important to store your cake on a flat surface. Since our cakes are 3+ layers, a crooked cake board can result in a crooked cake. keeping the cake on a flat surface will keep your cake straight and beautiful!

HOW DO I TRAVEL WITH MY CAKE IN THE CAR?

The best place to put your cake is in the trunk of your car on a flat surface. We know this seems counter-intuitive, but we've found this to have the best results after traveling with a lot of cakes. If your trunk is full, put the cake on the floor of the passenger seat or on the floor behind the passenger or driver's seats. Do not travel with the cake on your lap or unsecured on the seat of your car. The cake needs to remain on a flat surface and you don't want the box falling over or accidentally squeeze your box if someone stops short.

HOW LONG WILL MY CAKE LAST?

We love fresh cake. We recommend eating your cake the day you purchase it. But if you need to store it in the refrigerator, it should stay moist for up to 3 days. And frozen cakes can be saved for up to a year!

HOW DO I STORE MY CAKE BALLS?

If you are not planning to eat all of your cake balls the day you purchased them (which is hard to do), you can store cake balls in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep in mind they might sweat when you take them out of the refrigerator due to a change in temperature.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOUR CAKES SERVE?

Mini serves 2-4 people
Fun Size serves 5-7

HOW LONG WILL ICE CREAM CAKES LAST IN MY FREEZER?
