How do I store a cake?

There are a few tips you need to consider when storing cakes in order to keep them fresh as long as possible:

• Your cake should be stored in a covered box or container out of direct sunlight. This is because sunlight will alter icing colours.

• Heat and humidity can damage your cake by softening the buttercream and icing used. Keep your decorated cake as cool as possible, again in a box or container if possible.

• Try not to use foil or plastic wrap to cover a decorated cake as this can sometimes stick to icing and damage any decorations you may have used.
