FAQ
Do cakes need to be refrigerated?
Cakes are provided chilled to maintain freshness. Refrigeration depends on the serving time:
- Serving within 1-2 hours of pickup or delivery: No refrigeration is necessary; keep in a cool indoor space.
- Picking up a cake the day before serving: Refrigerate overnight to ensure freshness.
- Example: For a cake picked up at 11 AM for a 7 PM event, refrigerate until about 6 PM.
When should cakes be taken out of the fridge?
Allow at least one hour at room temperature before serving to let buttercream and fillings soften.
- Outdoor events without air conditioning: Limit the cake’s time outside to a maximum of 2 hours. Cakes exposed to direct sunlight may not hold up.
- Indoor, air-conditioned events: Cakes can last up to 4+ hours without refrigeration.
How should cakes be cut?
Using a grid pattern helps maximize servings:
- Grid vs. triangle cuts: Cutting in triangles reduces servings. Stick to a rectangular grid
pattern.
- Standard slice size: 1" x 2"
- Refer to the pricing guide for serving sizes based on cake dimensions.
