Storing Baked Goods
Answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding baking.
How do I properly store my baked goods?
All cakes should be covered to keep them fresh. Plain cakes keep well in a ventilated cake tin or bread box for several days. Cakes with whipped cream or cream filling should be refrigerated until served.
Can I freeze my baked goods?
Yes, unfrosted or butter frosted cakes may be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 2 weeks. For a soft frosting, freeze cake unwrapped for several minutes, then as soon as top is firm, cover with plastic wrap.
How do I thaw my baked goods?
All baked goods should be thawed at room temperature. The time required for thawing depends on the type of product: usually 3 to 4 hours. Pies with fruit fillings require a longer period of time to thaw than those filled with whipped cream or cream fillings.
