For the best flavor and texture, allow refrigerated desserts to come closer to room temperature before serving.

• Buttercream cakes, cupcakes, number cakes & decorated cake slices: Remove from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.

• Cakesicles: If refrigerated, remove 30–60 minutes before serving, or enjoy them chilled if you prefer a firmer texture.

Unless you enjoy cold buttercream or a firmer cakesicle, allowing your order to warm slightly will provide the best flavor and texture.

Most desserts can be displayed and enjoyed for up to 4–5 hours in a cool, indoor environment.

Buttercream softens as it warms, so extended time at room temperature may soften decorations or cause looser fillings to bulge.

If your order won't be served within a few hours, return it to the refrigerator and refer to the Storage Tips for longer-term storage recommendations.

You're welcome to slice your cake however you'd like!
