How to preserve cream cake

Cream cakes are recommended to be refrigerated and stored for 1-3 days. The main storage methods include sealed refrigeration, avoiding squeezing, partitioned storage, frozen storage, and timely consumption.

1. Sealed refrigeration

Put the cream cake in a sealed box or wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it to prevent moisture loss and flavor mixing. When sealing, be careful to avoid deformation of the cream decoration, and the refrigeration temperature should be controlled at 0-4 degrees Celsius. If the cake contains fresh fruit filling, it should be consumed within 24 hours.

2. Avoid squeezing

When storing, place the cake in an open area on the top of the refrigerator, away from heavy objects or strongly scented food. It is recommended to store multi-layer cakes flat, as tilting them may cause the cream layers to shift. During transportation, cake specific fixed frames can be used to reduce vibration.

3. Partition storage

Cakes containing different ingredients can be stored separately. The cream portion is refrigerated separately, and the cake embryo can be frozen to extend its shelf life. Fruit decoration is recommended to be eaten and stored immediately, and nut ingredients should be kept moisture-proof. Chocolate accessories should be stored away from light to prevent melting and discoloration.

4. Cryopreservation

can be frozen for long-term storage, but the taste may be affected. Before freezing, remove perishable fresh fruits, wrap them in tin foil and place them in a sealed bag. They can be stored for 2 weeks at -18 degrees Celsius. When thawing, it is necessary to transfer it to the refrigeration room 6 hours in advance and slowly warm it up.

5. Timely consumption

Animal cream cake is best consumed on the same day, while plant cream can be extended to 3 days. Check for any sour or moldy taste before consumption. In high temperature environments during summer, cream cakes should not be exposed to the outside for more than 2 hours. Special shaped cakes are recommended to be picked up on the same day after booking.

Cream cakes should be regularly checked for condition during storage, and should be discarded immediately if there is any odor or discoloration. If you need to take it out, it is recommended to use insulated bags and ice packs to maintain low temperature. Homemade cakes can reduce the addition of sugar to delay spoilage, but it can alter the taste. When purchasing, prioritize selecting stores with fresh ingredients and confirm the production date. It is recommended to use glass or food grade plastic materials for storage containers to avoid oxidation caused by the use of metal vessels. Before consumption, it can be reheated for 10 minutes to enhance the taste, but it is not advisable to refrigerate and thaw repeatedly.
