Eating an entire cake in one sitting is sure tempting, but the chances are that you will tap out after a few slices. After that, you probably want to store it in a way that it stays fresh and tasty for when you are ready for round two. Follow these tips to ensure that’s the case.

Always Keep Your Cakes in the Fridge

While some cakes can remain at room temperate, your best bet is to store them in a fridge. This will prevent them from going stale or losing flavors.

Place Them in an Airtight Container

If you place an uncovered cake in a fridge, there is a chance that it will absorb odor or flavor from other food in the fridge. This is why you should also make sure it is placed in an airtight container.

Wrap Them in Plastic Wrap

In case you don’t have an airtight container available, wrapping the cake in plastic wrap will also do. Just expect to also remove some icing when removing the plastic wrap later.

Freeze Your Cakes

If you don’t expect to finish the cake anytime soon, you are better off freezing it. This way, the cake will last longer and won’t lose much of its flavor or freshness. The way to do it is to slice the cake, line them on a baking sheet and pop it in the freezer. Once frozen, take the slices out, wrap them in plastic foil, and then return to the freezer.
