There are quite a few types of cakes, and because the cake body is different or the filling is different, the preservation time of the cake is not the same. Since there are so many types of cakes, we can only briefly talk about some common cake preservation time as well as preservation methods.

The preservation method and time of various kinds of cake embryo

As we all know, the finished cake is made from the cake embryo with cream or filling, the preservation method and shelf life of the embryo and the finished cake are totally different!

The naked cake embryo, there are so many common: chiffon cake embryo, sponge cake embryo, pound cake embryo.

Chiffon cake and sponge cake because of the moisture content is relatively large, need to be baked at room temperature after cooling, waiting for the internal open out of hot water vapor, completely cooled to room temperature, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap for preservation. It can be refrigerated for up to three days, or frozen for a longer period of time. When thawed, it still retains its soft, moist texture and has a shelf life of up to one week.

Chiffon cake bare embryo:

Of course there will be other forms, such as cupcakes bare embryo, cake rolls bare embryo, etc., just different forms.

Pound cake, because the moisture content is not as high as the first two, so brush a layer of sugar wine liquid while the cake is still warm, to moisturize and make the cake flavor richer. Pound cake needs to be oiled back, and is generally best served after three days of refrigeration. Because pound cake contains more oil, it will keep a little longer than the first two, and can be frozen for up to 2 weeks or longer.

1, the most common is the familiar birthday cake, birthday cake is based on the cake embryo, plus churned buttercream (or buttercream frosting), and fresh fruit (or jam, canned fruit) filling.

Whipped cream has a very short shelf life, and at refrigerated temperatures (0-4 degrees), it is extremely susceptible to spoilage and loss of flavor. Birthday cakes cannot be kept frozen and will melt at higher temperatures, so they can only be stored in the freezer. For taste reasons, it is recommended to consume the cake on the same day, at most two days, and on the third day, even if it is not spoiled, it will not be delicious.

Some people may say that their birthday cakes don't melt at high temperatures, so what's the reason? If the price is particularly cheap, it is possible that the use of vegetable cream, vegetable cream than animal cream plastic ability is much better, and in the high temperature is not easy to melt. For the sake of everyone's health it's better to eat less vegetable cream.

The bowl of snow white color on the right is vegetable buttercream:

Of course, in addition to the birthday cake, some cake cut-outs, box cake, buttercream roll cut-outs, etc., are also the same preservation, but also need to be used as soon as possible, preferably not more than one day.

2, to pound cake as the basis of embryo, the surface of the cream frosting or flipping sugar modeling of some modeling cake

Commonly is the wedding dessert table a kind of cake, because of the stability of the cake requirements, but also need to do a more complex shape of the cake, so the light cream can not be able to do. This time will use more stable, modeling ability of buttercream frosting, or flipping sugar.

Buttercream Frosting Cake:

This type of cake can be preserved for a longer period of time, and the filling will not use fresh fruit, but a variety of jams, chocolate sauces, caramel sauces, etc., and refrigeration does not have a particularly large impact on the texture of the cake. After thawing at room temperature when serving, the buttercream frosting and cake body are still soft. Although the time can be longer, but it is still recommended that you consume it within 3 days. Flipped candy figurines, flowers, etc. are generally not consumed, as long as the flipping sugar after drying, these figurines can be stored for quite a long time.

3, mousse cake

French sweet type of mousse, after the production of good are generally frozen, frozen can be stored about 1 week to 10 days. However, it can not be repeatedly frozen, thawed, this will be very easy to deteriorate, the taste will deteriorate, the mousse body will produce a lot of ice residue. Merchants will decorate the surface before ordering, such as sandblasting, topping, etc., when the guests get their hands, it is basically the state that has been thawed, so we don't freeze it again, if it is too soft, you can put it in the refrigerator for a period of time, the taste will be better. It is recommended to consume it within 2 days.

Summary

2, bare embryo want to extend the shelf life can be frozen, plastic wrap sealed.

3, mousse cake, can be frozen to save, but not repeatedly frozen, thawed.
