How to transport, store, and serve your treats! 🚗 The Ride Home • Flat Surfaces Only: Please keep your cake on the floor of your car (the passenger side floor is usually best). Car seats are slanted and can cause the cake to slide or lean. • Stay Cool: Keep the AC on high. Buttercream is basically butter—it will melt in a warm car! • Drive Like a Grandma: Take turns slowly and avoid sudden braking. 🏠 Storage & Temperature • Keep it Chilled: Unless otherwise instructed, keep your cake in the fridge until about 1–2 hours before serving. • The Sweet Spot: Cake is best enjoyed at room temperature. Letting it sit out for a bit allows the sponge to soften and the buttercream to become creamy again. • Safe Display: Keep the cake out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources (like a fireplace or a hot kitchen stove). 🔪 Serving & Leftovers • Clean Cuts: For the prettiest slices, use a large sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between every cut. • Support System: If your cake has multiple tiers, it contains dowels/straws for support. Please remove these as you carve! Do not smash cake in individual face for safety reasons. • Save for Later: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 3 months.
