Storing cakes can be a little tricky since different types need different methods to stay tasty and fresh. Here are some tips for three popular kinds of cakes:

1. Buttercream Cakes

These cakes are usually moist, but they can pick up dust and smells.

To store them:

• Keep the cake in a covered cake dome at room temperature for up to two days.
• If you need to keep it longer, you can put it in the fridge for up to a week.
• Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before serving!

2. Chiffon or Angel Food Cakes

These cakes are light and fluffy, but they can dry out easily.

To store them:

• Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap.
• Then, place it in an airtight container.
• They stay fresh at room temperature for about a week.

3. Cheesecakes

Cheesecakes are creamy and taste best when kept in the fridge.

To store them:

• Keep them in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days.
• If you want to save them for longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure they are wrapped really well so they don’t get freezer burn.

Serving Tip

When it’s time to serve the cake, use a serrated knife for clean and smooth slices. If you’re cutting a layered cake, make a deeper cut so all the layers stay together.

Happy baking and storing!
