Cake Care

 Cake care

1. Do not tilt the cake, it will cause damage to the cake. 

2. Allow cake to get to room temp (about an hour depending on the size of cake) this allows the butter to soften in the cake before eating. 

3. When removing from box here are some helpful steps.     

     a. Remove plastic wrap (cellophane)     

     b. Take top off.     

     c. Unfold the 2 front tabs.     

     d. Bend tabs to the side so they are not in the way of the cake.   

     e. Slide cake out, do not lift (this will cause it tilt, or your hands can possibly touch the sides of the cake. 

4. For Swiss meringue butter cream or cream cheese frosting, place it in a cool area away from the sun. Heat and or direct sunlight will melt the butter in the frosting. (we use 100% real butter in both our frosting and cakes)

5. Place leftovers in a sealed container. You can refrigerate or freeze. Just bring to room temp before enjoying

6. Tiered or tall cakes will have stabilizer straws or dowels in the cake so be on the lookout.    

     a. 3 layer 8” will have 4   

     b. 3 layer 6” will have 3    

    c. Tiered cakes will have the above stabilizer straws plus a dowel going through all tiers.

7. Fondant figures or tall fondant décor will have picks inside.

8. Cream cheese frosted cake should not be left out. Refrigerate uneaten portions.

9. Any damage to cake after delivery or pick up will not be the responsibility of All Hands Bakery. 

10. Enjoy!
