Whether you want to order a Valentine’s Day cake<\/a> in advance or you are looking for ways to keep the cake fresher for longer, here are some essential cake storing tips that you can use for any occasion. Not only will your cakes stay tastier for longer, but it will also ensure that they don’t experience any changes in texture.<\/p>\n

Normal conditions<\/h2>\n

Under normal conditions, your fresh cake will only last for up to four days if you don’t take any additional steps to preserving its quality and flavour. So, if you plan on eating it within a couple of days, you will not need to worry too much about proper cake storing.<\/p>\n

Refrigerator<\/h2>\n

You can place your cake in the fridge to help it maintain its shape and to keep it from spoiling too soon. Of course, it’s important to cover the cake so that it is not affected by the moisture inside your fridge. This is important in particular when you have a cake decorated with fondant since it can cause the colours to run. If your cake is decorated using a cream cheese frosting, you need to refrigerate right away or it will lose its shape and visual appeal very quickly.<\/p>\n

Freezing<\/h2>\n

If your cake is decorated with fondant or buttercream, you can store them in your freezer. This type of cake storing means that you will preserve the shelf life of the cake but you will need to give it time to thaw out slowly before consumption. If your cake is decorated with ganache that uses cream, it will not be suited for freezing.<\/p>\n

If you are planning on saving the top tier of your wedding cake for your first anniversary, you should freeze it. It will need to be wrapped up properly and stored in an airtight container. You will then need to remove it from the freezer a few days ahead of time. Allow it to defrost in your fridge so that it defrosts slowly and evenly. Once ready, you can unwrap the cake and continue to store in the fridge. Only remove it and allow it to rest at room temperature for a few minutes when you are ready to dig in. By following these cake storing tips, you and your spouse will get to enjoy a taste of your special day that will bring all those wonderful memories back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
