HOW TO STORE A CAKE

STORING A SPONGE
 Firstly, let the cake cool completely as it will end
up with steam.
 Once the cake is at room temperature, cover it
tightly all over with plastic.
 Keep the cake in a dry place at cool room
temperature .
 If the weather is very hot or humid store the cake
in the refrigerator. Wrap it well and put it in air
tight container so it doesn't absorb other odors .
 Sponge can be kept in the freezer for up to a
month. Allow ample time for thawing before
using.
STORING AN ICED CAKE
For Cream Cheese and
Whipped-Cream Icing :
 Once the cake is iced keep it in the
freezer for 30 minutes till it sets and
then transfer it to fridge.
 Do not leave the cake out at room
temperature instead cover it with a
box .
For Butter cream and
Fondant

condensation and can make the colors bleed.
• If possible, transfer the refrigerated cake to
an air-conditioned space before taking it out
into a warm day.
•Its advisable to place fondant toppers on
the delivery day itself.
•Once the cake is cut. Cover each and every
cake with plastic wrap and then store it in
fridge.
For Tier cakes
•For cakes that are tall, consider icing
and storing it in different layers, then
assembling them on the delivery day.
• its advisable to assemble the cake at
venue only, as it can might fall while
transporting.
TRANSPORTING A CAKE
1. When it comes to the box, size matters:
Take cake box that’s the same size of cake board. If box is slightly larger then
cake can slide around. Also, for height. Select a box at least 2 inches taller than
your cake, especially if it’s piled high with decorations.
2. Package decorations separately:
If you have gum paste flowers, fondant decorations or candles for cake,
package those separately and place them on cake once arrived at your
destination.
3. Weather condition:
Cake, icing and filling sensitive to heat. If traveling a long distance in the
summers, avoid using butter cream or cream cheese frosting, as it can melt.
4. temperature in vehicle:
Cakes should be kept cool to prevent melting. turn the air conditioning on to
keep it cool.
5. Travel first, build later:
If cake has more than one tier, package each tier separately, then assemble cake
once you’ve arrived at your destination.
