OTHER QUESTIONS
Frozen cake? How to thaw for best results.
Our homemade cakes & pies are made with care and to preserve the taste we freeze our cakes & pies directly after baking. For the best results we suggest placing the frozen cake/pie in the refridgerator to thaw the evening before you plan to serve it. Can’t wait that long? Place the cake or pie in a safe place at room temperature, for example kitchen counter where the dog or cat can’t get to it…. Thawing time is 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the cake and temperature of house. Take thawed cake out of fridge about 15 minutes before serving for. Enjoy!
