Other Questions
19. How should I store my cupcakes and treats after pick-up?
For the best experience, we recommend enjoying your cupcakes on the same day they’re received. If refrigeration is necessary, store them in an airtight container, away from strong odors—just keep in mind that refrigeration may dry them out. Before serving, allow cupcakes to come to room temperature for 1–2 hours to restore their flavor and texture.
Chocolate-covered treats should be kept at room temperature in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve their appearance and taste.
20. Can I freeze my cupcakes or chocolate-covered treats?
Cupcakes freeze well—just place them in an airtight container and thaw at room temperature before serving. Chocolate-covered treats are best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container.
