Cake Storage

How do I keep my cake fresh?

Our decorated cakes (wedding and special occasion) can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-3 days. If you would like to keep your cake longer, it should be kept in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, up to one week.

Our pound cakes can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for one week.

Can my cake be kept in the freezer?

We recommend only freezing our pound cakes. They should not be kept more than 3 months.

To freeze the pound cake, wrap it in plastic wrap first, followed by aluminum foil with the dull side out. The cake must be completely covered. To retain freshness, begin thawing your pound cake out 24 hours in advance. When you are ready, remove the cake from the freezer, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Then allow it to sit at room temperature for an additional 12 hours. Remove plastic wrap and aluminum foil when ready to serve.

Decorations

Are your cakes decorated?

Wedding cakes and special occasion are decorated to your specifications. We can do everything from basketweave, roses and rolled fondant for your wedding cake to trucks, clowns or portraits for your special-occasion cake. Our staff will help you design your own unique creation.

Our pound cakes come with a flavor-appropriate glaze that is decorated on the cake for local pickup or included in a separate container for shipping purposes.

Can I sample a cake?

We have cake samples of various flavors available in the shop daily. We also have a Spring (April) and Fall (October) Open House where 7-10 flavors are available. For weddings we offer a 1-hour, free tasting to the couple. Appointments are recommended, but we will do our best to accomodate walk ins.
