A cake will be at its peak
flavor and texture at room temperature. We recommend you leave your
cake out for 4–6 hours before serving. You can refrigerate the
leftovers.
Buttercream, ganache, jams, and most fillings are
stable at room temperature.
Cream cheese can stay out for
several hours. Overnight or all-day at room temp is not recommended,
especially in summer months. Otherwise, treat as you would a
buttercream cake. Bring out a few hours before serving. Whipped cream
cakes should stay refrigerated and come out no more than an hour
before serving.
The
best pies boast top quality ingredients.
Our pies
are made by hand, using the best butter in the crust,
organic eggs and dairy in our custards, and seasonal fresh
fruit sourced, whenever possible, from local farms.
Pies prepared without preservatives require a little
attention once they leave the bakery.
Buttermilk, Key Lime, Lemon, Pumpkin,
Pecan, Cream Pies contain eggs in the filling, sometimes
dairy, and require refrigeration.
Custard pies are best kept refrigerated, not
frozen; freezing impacts the texture causing the filling to
separate and the crust to become soggy.
Fruit Pies are stable at room temperature for up to two
days. After that, they can be stored in the refrigerator for
up to two additional days.
Pies just-out-of-the-oven
need to cool down, uncovered, at room temperature before
refrigerating. Just baked pies require a few hours to cool
before slicing.
Warm pie at 275° for 30 minutes on the bottom rack. Crumb topped pies may
need to be covered with foil or parchment paper for the last
10 minutes to prevent over-browning. Every oven is different
so check about halfway through- the idea is to warm the pie,
not bake it. Pies respond better to ovens than microwaves;
take the time to warm the pie in the oven, microwave
reheating will break down the filling and leave you with a
soggy crust.
Scones taste great for days. Keep them in
an airtight container. And give them back some crunch with a
brief period in a toaster oven. Buy in bulk and freeze them.
Pull out what you need for tomorrow’s breakfast before
