What’s the best way to keep a decorated buttercream cake fresh until serving time?
To maintain the freshness of the black and gold cake, it’s best stored in a cool, dry place. If refrigerating, remove it 1–2 hours before serving so the buttercream has time to soften back to its silky texture. This ensures the flavours are enjoyed at their best. Always keep the cake away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as metallic decorations and buttercream can be sensitive to temperature.
