Storage Science
Cakes and soft desserts should be wrapped tightly to prevent moisture loss and stored at room temperature (if no perishable fillings) or refrigerated. Consume within 3 days.
Reheating Science
Serve at room temperature for optimal flavor perception, as cold mutes sweetness. If it's a baked pastry, flash-heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3-5 minutes to restore the butter matrix and crispness.
