HOW TO KEEP PRODUCTS FRESH
CAN I FREEZE THE PRODUCTS?
-
All of our cakes and cupcakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. They are best enjoyed at room temperature, so please leave out for 2-3 hours before serving.
-
Cookies are best eaten within 1 week (if they last that long!). Unfortunately, they do not freeze well, and will harden over time. These are best left at room temperature.
-
Cakes with fondant icing should not be frozen as this dries out the fondant. This is best kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
-
Cakes with Edible photo images should not be frozen as the colours may run in the thawing process. This is best kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Photo cakes should be stored covered as the edible ink is light sensitive and can fade if not in a box.
-
If you have cut into a cake and want to save the rest for another day, you only need to add plastic wrap to the exposed cake. Our icing and fondant act as a freshness seal for the rest.
