Follow a few simple steps and your cake will taste exactly as it did when it left our bakery.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"max-width:640px;margin:2.2em auto 0.5em;color:#fefefe;font-size:1.35em;line-height:1.3;\">Right after delivery<\/h2>\n<p style=\"max-width:640px;margin:1.2em auto;line-height:1.8;\">Your cake travels to you chilled. As soon as it arrives, put it in the fridge, ideally in its box, and leave it there for <strong>at least 2 hours<\/strong> before serving. This lets the temperature settle after transport and keeps the mousse nicely firm.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"max-width:640px;margin:2.2em auto 0.5em;color:#fefefe;font-size:1.35em;line-height:1.3;\">How long does the cake keep?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"max-width:640px;margin:0 auto 1.4em;\">\n<ul style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:0;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\"><strong>Fruit and cream cakes<\/strong> (Rosebox, Honeycomb, Triangles and Origami apple cake): up to <strong>2 days<\/strong> after delivery, kept in the fridge.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\"><strong>Chocolate cakes and the Cherries cake<\/strong> (Heart chocolate cake, Mondriaan chocolate cake and Cherries cake): up to <strong>3 days<\/strong> after delivery, kept in the fridge.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\">Cover a cut cake in the fridge so it does not pick up other smells or dry out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"max-width:640px;margin:2.2em auto 0.5em;color:#fefefe;font-size:1.35em;line-height:1.3;\">Serving and cutting<\/h2>\n<div style=\"max-width:640px;margin:0 auto 1.4em;\">\n<ul style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:0;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\">Take the cake out of the fridge just before serving. Mousse cakes taste best cool.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\">Use a long, sharp knife. Dip it in hot water, wipe it dry and cut in one smooth movement. Wipe the knife clean between slices for neat edges.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.5em;\">Using candles? Put them in just before you bring the cake in. You can add matching <a href=\\\"\/en\/product-category\/decorations\/\\\" $A>candles and decorations<\/a> to your cake order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"max-width:640px;margin:2.2em auto 0.5em;color:#fefefe;font-size:1.35em;line-height:1.3;\">Did your cake arrive damaged?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"max-width:640px;margin:1.2em auto;line-height:1.8;\">Almost all of our cakes arrive in perfect condition.
