How should I store a buttercream cake before serving?
To keep the Pirate Cake looking its best, store it in its box in a cool, dry place until the event. If you’re holding the party the next day, refrigerate the cake overnight, then bring it back to room temperature a couple of hours before serving so the buttercream is soft and easy to cut. This helps maintain both flavour and presentation.
