Cake Storage & Shelf Life

Before You Dig In

Please be aware that there may be floral wires, wooden skewers, plastic sticks, or wooden dowels inserted into your custom cake to support the structure or any decorative toppers. Make sure you remove these before serving the cake.

  • Fondant and gumpaste toppers are food safe and edible, but they are not palatable. It is best for decorative purposes only, but you can still eat them if you prefer.
  • Gold or silver luster dust, gold foils, and edible glitters used for cake decorating are not advisable to be eaten due to possible high metal content. Please remove the outer part of cake that have these before eating.
  • Silver and gold dragees (the small, hard, silver/gold-coated balls that are used as decorations) are made of sugar but may contain small amounts of silver that may not be safe for ingestion. It is best to remove them as well before eating your cake.
  • Any other types of rainbow sprinkles (e.g. confetti, vermicelli, jimmies, nonpareils, sanding sugar) are generally safe for consumption.

Storing Whole Cakes & Leftovers

If you opted to have your cakes delivered ahead of time, it is essential to store them appropriately based on their frosting. Cakes covered with buttercream should be refrigerated, while those covered with fondant can be stored either in the fridge or an air-conditioned room. Do not remove from the box until the event/party. Leftover cakes with perishable ingredients and fillings such as buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or fresh fruits, should be stored in the refrigerator. For pound cakes or loaf cakes without fillings, room temperature storage is generally suitable to prevent drying.


Choosing the Right Container

Opt for airtight containers to protect your cake from exposure to air and humidity. If cake is too large for containers, you can leave it on the cake board and cover with a cling wrap to prevent it from drying out in the fridge.


Shelf Life

Generally, your cakes are best enjoyed within 2-4 days after it’s been delivered. (We bake cakes one day before the event to ensure its freshness.) If you will not be able to consume it within a few days, it is advisable to freeze your cake after the third day. For frozen cakes, aim to consume them within 3 months to maintain optimal taste and texture.


Freezing Cakes

Freezing is a great way to extend the shelf life of your cake. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and add a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw the cake completely before serving, but keep in mind that freezing may slightly alter the texture of your cake.


We hope you enjoyed your cake!
