Your cake should be stored in a refrigerator at +/- 5 deg C and removed from the fridge 3 hours before service.

We recommend you remove the cake from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature out of direct sunlight for a minimum 3 hours before service, this allows the cake to come up to room temperature, so the texture is soft, and the taste is best.

If you plan to present your cake with fireworks, please note the hot cinders from the fireworks may damage the decorations and the cake itself.  Please take care when using fireworks indoors or outdoors.

The Best Before date is indicated on the sticker at the back of the cake box.

Please note: certain decorations may contain foodsafe structural plastic or metal wire supports, please take care to remove these elements that contain the dowels and wires before serving, it is not recommended to give the decorations to young children as they may contain these elements.  If you have a multi-tiered cake, the lower tiers will have plastic supporting dowels to help maintain the structure, they need to be removed before serving.
