Important Tips
Handling
Inspect all cakes upon arrival.
Keep cakes refrigerated between 10C and 12C.
Store frozen cakes in your freezer until you are ready to use them.
To maintain freshness when pieces are individually served, cover the slice
of cake with plastic wrap.
Fresh fruit, whipping cream and meringue based cakes will maintain their
freshness for 2-3 days. All other cakes should be consumed within 4-5 days.
Cutting
For best results, always use a sharp, serrated
knife.
Heat the blade under running hot water and wipe excess water off before
making each slice. Place slice on a plate, cut-side up.
Always clean and reheat knife after every slice.
For professional looking portions, use a 10 to 12 inch serrated slicer when
cutting cakes.
Allow the frozen slices to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour
before serving.
For cheesecakes here is the best-kept secret of the trade. Would you believe
it is dental floss! It is just about impossible to cut a cheesecake cleanly
with a knife (too much of the precious filling sticks to the blade). Take a
long strand of dental floss, stretch it taut, and gently press it through
the cake. Do not try to pull the floss back up through the cut you have
made, simply pull it out when you reach the bottom. Either waxed or unwaxed
floss may be used, but you may want to use a knife to cut through the harder
crusts.
Storage
Wrap the exposed cake in plastic wrap to
prevent dryness and refrigerator odors from being absorbed when the cake is
stored. Some cakes may be difficult to wrap without marring the surface. We
recommend placing these in a covered cake tray, or a pan and covered with
plastic wrap or foil.
Store freezer friendly cakes in your freezer until ready to use.
Please note that we do not recommend freezing fresh fruit, whipping cream or
meringue based cakes.
