Storage Care
Mousse Cakes, Shortcakes, Fruit Tarts and Croquembouches:
- They must be stored in the refrigerator (between 2°C - 4°C) to maintain their freshness and texture.
- Keep the cake in its original box to prevent it from drying out and absorbing strong odors from other foods.
Avoid freezing:
- Freezing can alter the texture of the mousse, cream, and sponge layers. For best results, please do not freeze our cakes.
Cupcakes and cakes topped with icing:
- Store in an secured packaging at cool temperature. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
Cupcakes and cakes topped with buttercream:
- Keep refrigerated until 1 hour before serving to allow the cake to reach room temperature.
