Storing and serving a cake after delivery
1 min de lecture
Where to put it, when to take it out, how to cut it: the right moves between cake delivery and blowing out the candles.
The cake has arrived and the party starts in a few hours: here are simple habits so it reaches the table looking as good as on delivery.
On delivery
- Carry the box flat, with both hands, without tilting it.
- Open it to check the cake and the message while the courier is still there.
- Do not put anything on top of the box.
Before the party
A cream or filled cake goes in the fridge, in its box, away from strong-smelling food. Keep it out of the sun, out of a hot car and away from the oven or hob.
Before serving
Take the cake out of the fridge a little before serving so the flavours come through, without leaving it long at room temperature on a hot day.
Cutting it
- A large knife dipped in hot water and wiped between slices.
- Smaller slices than you think: you can always serve seconds.
- Keep leftovers covered in the fridge.
