Transporting Your Cake: Make sure to keep the cake level when you carry/transport it (avoid putting it on a slanted car seat or holding it in your lap). Please ensure the cake is kept air-conditioned inside the vehicle in inclement weather. Don't squeeze the sides of the box because the buttercream may stick to the box. When carrying or transporting your cake, please place both hands underneath the cake to support the cake and the board. If you will be traveling with your cake after you take it home, refrigerate the cake so it will be firm for travel and of course, drive carefully and avoid slamming your brakes or truning sharply.

 

Cake Storage : Cakes are fragile. If a cake gets too warm it will begin to loose shape. Buttercream cakes may melt or the buttercream may sweat. Therefore, please ensure that cakes are refrigerated. Refrigete let over cake in air tight container.

 

Cake Serving: We bake with real butter because it defines the tasre of homemade baking. But cold butter in a cake, cupcake or buttercream will feel hard and lack taste. Remove cake from refrigerator and let it sit out at room temperature $% minutes to an hour befor slicing to develop best flavor and texture. When siting out at room temperature, make sure it is not exoped to heat as the buttercreamcan soften and melt causing cake layers to slide. Dont place cake on heat generating appliances. Place cake on counter top out of direct sunlight.

 

Cake Display: Keep the cake out of the sun and away from heat. Make sure yocake stand and table are stable if bumped. Toothpicks place under fondant element on the front of you cake can be removed as these are only for support purposes during travelling.

 

Cutting Your Cake: Cakes are best cut with a hot, dry, sharp knife. Run the knife under a hot tap or sit in a jug of boiled water, then dry the knife and cut. Watch for and remove all wooden dowels, toothpicks and support material before serving.
