Cake and Storage Enquiries
Buttercream cake frosting is thickened with butter and it is soft and creamy at room temperature. The cake can be displayed in an air-con room (at least 18°C) for up to 4 hours. It is not recommended to display or store cakes without air con, especially under the hot sun or in warm and humid areas.
If refrigerated, thaw at room temperature for approx. 30-60min or until cream is soft to touch. Do not consume straight from the fridge as the sponge will be crumbly and hard to cut. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge in an air-tight container up to 3 days, thaw 20-30mins before consumption.
Fresh cream cakes should be kept refrigerated (not frozen) till time of consumption. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge in an air-tight container up to 3 days
Do check out our collection of fresh cream flavours below:
Black Forest Cake (Contains alcohol)
We don't provide ice packs or cooler bags. Try not to stay out in the hot sun too long and follow our storage instructions listed on our cake boxes. Our merciless weather isn't kind to our cakes, especially the fresh cream ones!
All cakes are best consumed on the same day. To ensure freshness, we recommend keeping remaining slices in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to three (3) days from date of collection/delivery.
Tarts: Display in cool, air-conditioned area and consume within the same day for best taste and texture. Not recommended for overnight storage as tart shell may soften overnight/pearls will harden overnight
Cupcakes/Loaves: Display in cool, air-conditioned area and consume within the same day for best taste and texture. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge (in air-tight container) up to 2 days, thaw 20-30mins before consumption
Brownies/Blondies: Keep refrigerated for best taste and texture or display in air-con room for up to 5 hours. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge (in air-tight container) up to 3 days
Macarons: Keep refrigerated for best taste and texture. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge (in air-tight container) up to 3 days

**Sugar-free, dairy-free and egg-free cakes are not available as a custom cake flavour. Our sugar-free, dairy-free and egg-free cakes are available in standard designs and flavours here: https://edithpatisserie.
Unfortunately this is not possible. With two-tier cakes, the process of assembling and decorating is entirely different from a standard, single-tier cake. We would not want to compromise on the look, taste and stability of the final product. Check out our Two-tier collection for larger cake options to feed more mouths!
For fondant that has been assembled: We'd recommend keeping your cake in a cool aircon environment (at least 18 degrees) for up to 4 hours for optimal appearance. Sweating of fondant pieces may occur when removed from the fridge as condensation forms on the fondant surface when the cake’s temperature changes quickly from cold to warm environments.
Excessive moisture from condensation can soften fondant decorations. Prevent this by keeping the cake away from direct sunlight or humid places.
For fondant that has been packed separately: We'd recommend keeping fondant pieces in a cool aircon environment.
For the cake itself, do follow our recommended storage instructions for your correponding cake types!
For our customised cakes in taller sizes, dowels are required to secure the cake for transportation as it provides structural stability to the cake. Rest assured that we only use food-safe materials for our plastic dowels.
While fondant toppers are made with edible fondant or gumpaste, please note that skewers, uncooked spaghetti, and gumpaste floral wires may be included to ensure the structural integrity of the topper. As such, we recommend that if you wish to consume fondant toppers, to do so with caution.

We are not able to reduce sugar in the recipes as it would alter the cake’s taste and texture.
