How do I store Carrs graduation cake leftovers?

Leftover cake on the graduation party dessert table? No worries! Follow these quick refrigerator and freezer tips to keep your cake longer:

In the refrigerator: To store your cake in the refrigerator, place your iced cake in the fridge uncovered for about 15-30 minutes. Once the icing hardens, loosely wrap the cake in plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. Cake typically stays fresh for up to a week when stored properly in the refrigerator.

In the freezer: To freeze your cake, first slice it. Let the frosting cool and harden in the refrigerator. Then, wrap each slice with plastic wrap and place into an airtight, freezer-safe bag or container. Your cake will keep for up to three months when frozen. To defrost, simply place your frozen cake in the refrigerator overnight.
