Cake Care
Does the cake require refrigeration?

How to transport cake?
Cakes are fragile. Without proper care,the cake can be damaged during transport. If alone, place the cake securely on the floor of the passengers' side or the booth and always drive carefully.
For taller ( 4 layered) or 2 tier custom cakes, the cakes are especially more fragile. Always have a companion for support during transport.
How long can the cake be transported for?
Cakes can be left out for at least 1 hour during transportation. It is recommended that the cake is brought directly to the destination and stored straight in the fridge if it is to be served more than 3 hours later. If the cake is to be served in 1 hr or immediately , there is no need to refrigerate.
When should I serve my cake?
Cake is best served when the buttercream is at room temperature . When it is soft to touch, this means the buttercream is silky, palatable and is ready to eat. To achieve this, take out the cake at least 1-2 hour prior to serving. Please be mindful of the room temperature the cake is left out . In hot weather, the cake will soften much faster than in cold weather.
Will my cake keep well if I collect it the day before?
Yes it will! All of our cakes are made fresh and can be eaten 2-4 days after pick up. Please ensure the cake is always kept in refrigeration to maintain its quality.
