Tip Tuesday: To Refrigerate or Not to Refrigerate

The number one question we receive daily is "Should I refigerate my cake/cupcakes?" 90% of the time our answer is no. Which most people are surprised to hear. It is a big mis-conception that cakes should always be placed in the refrigerator. Our buttercream is best served at room temperature. Since our buttercream is made with all butter when in the refrigerator it will solidify (just like a stick of butter). It is surprising how long cakes can take to come to temperature. In addition, many of our cakes are made with fondant work. With all the moisture from the fridge, fondant can become sticky and get ruined.  Our recommendation is to leave your cake in a cool place, not in direct sunlight, away from drafts, and Sparky of course!

So when should you refrigerate your cake/cupcakes? If your cake or cupcakes have cream cheese icing or filling they should be refrigerated.
