Product Information, Serving Instructions
and Storage Guidelines

We use Butter. We use the freshest ingredients possible in every product made at CakeLove.One of these essential ingredients is real butter because it is the taste of homemade baking. Baked goods made with butter sure do taste great, but only at the right temperature. Cold butter lacks flavor and can have an unpleasant taste and texture. We have to refrigerate most of our products to comply with local health department regulations. So, please understand that we refrigerate our products for your protection and suggest following the handy guide below to best enjoy CakeLove.

Room Temperature

“CakeLove tastes 10,000 times better at room temperature,” said one customer about the New German Chocolate cake. It’s true and we strongly advise every customer to follow this simple instruction—serve CakeLove at Room Temperature.

Why serve cake @ room temp? Because it tastes better!

Why refrigerate the cake? The health department requires that we store perishable goods at a cool 41° F

How long will it take to hit room temp? 5-15 minutes for cucpakes, pastries & slices. 1-3 hours for a cake (6"-9"). Bigger cakes take more time. See the chart below.

In a rush and can't wait? We don't recommend it but...you can microwave items for no more than 10 seconds

Cake Cutting

Cut like a pro. If you're serving a lot of people quickly, keep your knife in a pitcher of hot/warm water between slices. It will help give you clean, sharp edges with each slice.

Anniversary Wedding Cake

Year-old cake can be delicious! It’s true. You can store your wedding cake’s top tier (or any slice) and serve it safely for your one-year anniversary. Many people wonder how this is possible. Follow these simple directions:

  • After the wedding reception is over, place the top tier of your wedding cake in the fridge overnight.
  • The following day, tightly wrap two layers of plastic wrap around it. Then place it in a Ziploc bag, label it, and put it in the freezer.
  • Enjoy the first year of marriage.
  • A day before the anniversary date, take the cake package from the freezer and place in the fridge to thaw.
  • The following day, unwrap the cake and place on the counter. Allow 2-4 hours for the cake to come to room temperature. 
  • Enjoy!
