It’s time to party. You light the candles and the birthday boy or girl blows the candle and cuts the cake. You then pass around slices of the yummy cake to your guests. Your guests enjoy the cake and then go ahead with the rest of the celebrations. Now, you’re leftover with a half-eaten cake.
Wondering how best to store this yummy cake so that you can enjoy it later? We’ve put together a step-by-step guide to storing party cakes. This storage guide works for all cake types – fresh cream cakes, buttercream cakes, fondant cakes, and fruit cakes. We break it into different sections so that you can know how to store different cakes.
Refrigerating Party Cakes
Should you or shouldn’t you to store cakes in the fridge? Ideally, you can leave any cake – frosted or unfrosted, cut or uncut – at room temperature, if you plan to consume it in a couple of days. You need to refrigerate the cake only during hot summer days, as the heat can make the icing gooey and runny.
Here are the thumb rules to follow:
- Store unfrosted cakes in an airtight box at room temperature, if you will consume it within 1 or 2 days.
- Place it in the fridge only if you won’t serve it for three or more days.
- Cakes with fresh cream frosting, fruit fillings and buttercream are best stored in the fridge.
- Make sure to place the cake in an air-tight box in the fridge. Open cakes can absorb the odours of other items in the fridge and can taste funky.
- Take the cake out of the fridge and leave it on your counter for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Freezing Party Cakes
You can store cakes in the freezer to keep them fresh for long. Generally, oil-based cakes store better than butter-based ones. Before freezing cakes, cover each layer with plastic wrap. Make sure that the plastic covers all sides of the cake – top, sides and bottom. Before serving, take out the cake and let it thaw on the counter. You can also heat the cake for 30 seconds in your microwave before serving to make it moist and fresh again. However, note that heating frosted cakes in the microwave make the icing runny and messy.
Storing Frosted Cakes
Frosted cakes are easy to store as the frosting acts as a barrier protecting the insides of the cake.
- You can leave frosted cakes on the counter at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Just make sure that you place the cake in an air-tight box to protect it from dust, pollens, pet hair and other allergens in the air.
- If storing in the fridge, make sure to use an air-tight container to prevent the cake from absorbing other odours in the fridge.
That’s it. Do not let your party cakes go spoilt. Use the storage guidelines listed here to enjoy them for days after the party is over
