Cake Care
I want to ensure your cake gets home safely and it tastes and looks the best on your special day! Check out the tips below for the best cake care.
Cake Care
Important Information
-
take your cake straight home & refrigerate!! Especially in warmer weather.
-
car floor (or held if you have a passenger) is best for travel, avoid seats as they’re angled and your cake will shift. Air conditioning on the coldest setting is a must on hot days.
-
please don’t display cakes outdoors in the sun or shade (your cake will melt quickly even in shade)
-
for picture perfect slices, cakes cut best cold (from the fridge) with a hot sharp knife (Dipped in a cup of hot water for each slice) just like a dull knife doesn’t cut a tomato well, it won’t cut cake well.
-
cake is best served at room temperature, cold buttercream is hard buttercream.
-
if you’d like a video cutting tutorial shoot me a message or search YouTube for the size of cake you ordered for a cake cutting video - I've also posted a photo diagram of my preferred method below.
-
individually wrap leftover (chilled) slices in saran wrap (twice) and store in the fridge for a couple days, or the freezer for a month. To defrost move to the fridge overnight. Bring to room temperature (1-2hours) before enjoying.
How to Cut Your Cake
You can find great instructional videos on YouTube by searching "how to cute a 6" cake" (or whichever diameter you ordered) or "how to cut tall cakes". They demonstrate the cutting methods for the diagrams below:

This is personally my preferred method of serving tall cakes.
