Cake Care Advice

Take care after collecting your tasty treats from the bakery and they will stay looking beautiful until first bite!

How do I transport my cakes? 

Keep a steady hand. Do not shake, rattle or roll your cakes. Knocking the box vertically can cause cakes to overturn as the frosting makes them top heavy.

What temperature should I store my cakes at?

Not to hot, not too cold. Room temperature is best for your cakes. If the weather or room is especially hot, store in the refrigerator and allow time to bring up to room temperature before serving as the chill affects the flavour. Cheesecakes, Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies, pies and whoopie pies should be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours.

How long will my cakes keep for?

Give in to temptation. Eat your cupcakes or cakes within 24 hours of purchase. If it contains cream or has a custard topping, eat immediately after purchase. We don’t put preservatives in our cakes so the sponge will dry out a little and frosting will harden slightly and deepen in colour over time. Cheesecakes, Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies, pies and whoopie pies should be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours.

How do I store my leftover cake?

Save cake! Use an airtight container at room temperature if storing cakes to eat later.
