How to Store Your Cakes and Keep Them Fresh
You’ve picked up your beautifully crafted cake from Monarch Cake Shop — now what? Whether you’re saving it for a special event or trying to enjoy the leftovers the next day, proper storage is key to maintaining the freshness, flavor, and beauty of your cake.
Here’s how to keep your cake tasting just as amazing as it looked when you picked it up:
1. Know Your Cake Type
Different cakes require different storage methods. For example:
Buttercream cakes: Can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days (if in a cool room), but refrigeration extends freshness.
Fondant-covered cakes: Best stored in a cool room, as refrigerating can cause condensation on the surface.
Cakes with fresh fruit or cream fillings: Must be refrigerated to prevent spoilage.
2. Use an Airtight Container
If you've sliced into your cake and have leftovers, wrap them tightly in cling film or store them in an airtight cake box or container. This prevents the cake from drying out and absorbing odors from the fridge.
3. Refrigeration Tips
Place your cake in a cake box before refrigerating to avoid drying it out.
Let it sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes before serving again — this brings back its soft texture and full flavor.
Avoid placing cakes near strong-smelling foods like onions or seafood, as cakes can absorb odors.
4. Can You Freeze Cake? Absolutely!
Got extra slices or a tier you want to save for later? Wrap individual slices tightly in cling film and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Cakes can be frozen for up to 2–3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving.
5. Presentation Still Matters
When re-serving your cake, garnish it with fresh fruits, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream to revive its appearance and make it feel brand new.
