It is best to have a flat area in your car to place your cake so it does not tip or fall over during transport.  Make sure your car is cool with the air conditioner to prevent the buttercream from melting and sliding especially in hot summer weather! Please plan accordingly as Pua Cake Studio is not responsible for damaged cakes that are picked up from the studio shop.

If you plan to display and eat your cake within 3-4 hours of pick up, you do not need to store the cake in a refrigerator. For hot summer temperatures, it is best to store the cake in a refrigerator until display & cake serving. Leftover cakes should be wrapped to prevent from drying out and stored in the refrigerator.

The shelf life of the cakes are 5-7 days refrigerated but must be eaten within 3-5 days for best taste quality. Cakes may be frozen for up to 3-6 months when properly stored but taste quality is not guaranteed. 

The cake should be served at room temperature for best tasting quality. The buttercream is made with all butter so it is best when the frosting is soft and glossy. Enjoying it at room temperature brings out the best flavors and textures of the cake!
