Care & Storage

Our desserts are made fresh using real butter, chocolate, cream, and other quality ingredients. Because of this, proper care and storage are essential to maintaining their flavor, texture, and appearance.

Keep Them Cool

Our frostings contain real chocolate and butter, which can soften or melt in warm temperatures. Keep desserts in a cool, temperature-controlled environment and away from direct sunlight, heat, or warm appliances.

For the best results, we recommend keeping desserts refrigerated until needed, especially during warmer weather.

Before Serving

For cupcakes and cakes, allow approximately 30–60 minutes at room temperature before serving. This allows the frosting and cake to soften slightly and brings out the best flavor and texture.

Avoid leaving desserts in warm conditions for extended periods, as frosting may soften and chocolate decorations may melt.

Transporting Your Desserts

Keep desserts level and in a cool environment during transportation. During warm weather, we recommend using an air-conditioned vehicle and traveling directly to your destination.

Never leave desserts in a warm or parked vehicle, even for a short period. Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise quickly and may cause frosting and chocolate decorations to melt or shift.

During Your Event

Keep desserts in a cool, shaded area until they are ready to be served. Avoid placing them near windows, outdoor heat, direct sunlight, or other sources of warmth.

If your event is outdoors or during warmer months, we strongly recommend keeping desserts refrigerated or in a temperature-controlled environment until shortly before serving.

Fresh Flowers

If your cake or desserts include fresh flowers, keep them refrigerated until ready to display whenever possible. Fresh flowers should be handled according to the instructions provided by your florist.

A Note About Our Desserts

We believe real ingredients make better desserts. Our use of real chocolate and butter is part of what gives our cupcakes and cakes their rich flavor and beautiful texture—but it also means they are naturally sensitive to heat.

Whipped Cupcakery cannot guarantee the condition of products once they have left our care. Following these care instructions will help ensure your desserts arrive at your celebration looking and tasting their best.
