Serving & Storing Cake

Serving & Storing Cake

To enjoy cakes at their best, follow these tips:

*Allow cakes with butter type frosting to stand for about an hour before slicing. This allows the frosting to set.

*For cakes that are filled or frosted with whipped cream make sure to assemble them no more than 2 hours before serving.  This will prevent them from getting
soggy.

*To cut your cakes use a thin bladed knife cut pieces.  Run the knife under hot Water and make sure to wipe the knife dry before cutting the first piece And in between subsequent cuts.

*For storing cakes most cakes can be covered and stored at room temperature For 2 to 3 days.  It is good to have a cake cover, but if you don’t have  A cake cover then just invert a large bowl over your cake.  If you directly Cover the cake with plastic wrap then it will for sure make a mess of the Frosting.

*For those cakes that have a filling or a frosting that contains eggs, whipped  Cream or cream cheese it is best to store your cake covered in the fridge.

*If you want to freeze your cake then you should put your cooled and unfrosted Cake layers on a baking sheet.  Freeze them until they are nice and firm. After the layers are frozen then transfer them to large freezer bags or wrap Them and seal them in freezer wrap.  They will keep in the freezer for up to 4 months.  Thaw them before frosting.

*If you are serving your cake directly from the pan then cover them and freeze Them in the pan.  Make sure to thaw them before frosting them.
