Cake Care Guide

Transportation

• Always carry the cake box from underneath, keeping it level — never lift or squeeze the sides.
• Cool the car before placing the cake inside.
• Place the cake on the floor of the car or another flat, stable surface — never on a seat.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and use air conditioning when necessary.
• Drive carefully and travel directly to your destination. Don't leave the cake unattended in the car or run errands while transporting it.

Storage

• Refrigerate the cake in its box until needed.
• Keep it away from strong-smelling foods, direct sunlight, and heat.

Before Serving

• Remove the cake from the fridge 30–60 minutes before serving (timing depends on room temperature) to let it soften for the best flavour and texture.
• Some decorations may include wires, skewers, toothpicks, or other non-edible supports — carefully remove all inedible decorations and cake props before serving.
• For tiered cakes, separate each tier carefully and remove the internal support dowels as you cut.

Leftovers

• Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge.
• For maximum freshness, consume within 4–5 days of collection.

Important: Once the cake has been collected, the customer is responsible for its safe transportation, handling, and storage.
