How to store cakes, cookies, cupcakes and cake pops?
– Cakes: For buttercream cakes, keep the cakes refrigerated and take the cake out about 15mins before the time of consumption. [Why do some other shops say their buttercream cakes do not need to be refrigerated? The answer lies in the buttercream. At Happy Bakes, we choose to use meringue buttercream made with 100% butter. This buttercream tastes better and lighter, but it cannot withstand hours and hours without refrigeration on our little sunny island. Decorator’s buttercream which is able to withstand hours without refrigeration is highly likely to contain either 1) shortening, 2) margarine, 3) lots of icing sugar or 4) combination of all. We will only use decorator’s buttercream only if the customer requests for it or if absolutely necessary for decoration.] For fondant cakes, DO NOT refrigerate. Refrigeration will result in condensation on the cake, which will destroy the look of the cake and also cause the fondant to “sweat” and turn gluey when taken out of the fridge. Fondant ca
