Storage 101
Buttercream Bliss
Buttercream is made from real butter, so it’s important to remember that butter while in the refrigerator is hard and cold, and butter left on a kitchen counter overnight will become soft.
Cupcakes
Keep these treats chilled for freshness! Remember to take them out of the fridge 15–20 minutes before enjoying so they soften. Use a sealed box for the best results.
Chilled Creations
Cheesecakes belong in the fridge at all times. They only need a few minutes out of the cold before they're ready for their big debut.
ON THE ROAD
Smooth Travels
Getting your cake home safely is just as important as the bake itself. Follow these tips for a stress-free journey.
Keep it Flat: The floorboard or a flat trunk space is best. Never place your cake on a tilted car seat or on your lap.
Cool & Steady: Blast the AC to keep the buttercream firm, and avoid sudden stops or sharp turns. Never leave the cake in a warm or hot car. Even for a short amount of time.
Hands on Bottom: Always carry the cake box from the bottom, not the sides, to prevent the box from flexing.
The Perfect Slice
To experience the full spectrum of our flavors and textures, we recommend bringing your cake to room temperature (ideally between 65° - 70° before serving. This allows the buttercream to soften to its intended consistency. For the cleanest slices, use a long, thin-bladed knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between every single cut. This prevents sticking and ensures every guest receives a masterpiece on their plate. If you find yourself with leftovers, wrap the exposed cake faces tightly in plastic wrap before refrigerating to maintain moisture for up to two days.
