How do I store the cake ?
Our fondant cakes have been shelf life tested at an accredited food laboratory.
Cakes are best stored at ambient/room temperature 23c.
In the warmer weather store cakes near air conditioning to keep cool.
Fondant cakes are not stored in the fridge, as this will ruin the fondant once taken out. Store in a cool place away from heat and direct sunlight.
Cut with a knife dipped in hot water for a clean cut.
