CAKE HANDLING AND STORAGE

​

Your cake is made with assorted types of buttercreams and fillings, they should be served at room temperature to avoid a greasy mouthfeel (gross!) We recommend removing your cake from the refrigerator 4 hours before service to allow it to come to room temperature. The optimal room temperature is between 70 - 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Recommendations for all delivered cakes is to be refrigerated before and after serving for optimal results, special instructions regarding each cake and design will be included. You may wrap and freeze leftover cakes. A cake serving page for guidance will be available. Confectionary Chalet is not responsible for color change, damage to cakes caused by improper handling and storage once they are in your possession. Please remember to always keep your cake out of direct sunlight. Keeping the cake level and running your car’s AC during transport is recommended.
