Many times it could happen that you visit a cake shop or a bakery and the cake that you buy is not fresh and in case you notice that once you come back home, then it’s quite a loss, of time, money, energy and other resources. Often for whatever reason, the cake that might get delivered to you may not be fresh which can lead to a decay in the taste and flavor of the cake, the texture, its looks and of course also the aroma of the cake.
When you order cake online in Mumbai, always and always go for a customized cake or a regular cake with a frosting in the color of your choice and a cake with the flavor combinations that you would like and love to it and even in a cake in a specific design, shape and size that you want. When you make so many things specific to your likes and dislikes, then the bakery or the cake shop owners and bakers will have to bake a cake especially for you and hence you can then rest assured that it will be baked fresh and that cake delivery will only bring you absolutely 100% fresh cakes.
Also when you visit a huge or a grand cake store or a bakery that has loads and loads of customers, it is possible that the cake you order might not be fresh and may have actually been baked quite a few days ago. And obviously, since the big shops and cake stores will look forward to making more profits the bakery or cake shop clerks and staff members will not tell you when the cake was baked and how fresh it is.
To avoid buying and receiving a cake that is not freshly baked and may even taste not so good, here are a few points that you can keep in mind to ensure that you only receive good freshly baked cakes that are perfect in its taste and flavors, its texture, its looks and decorations and toppings and of course its aroma:
- If the cake is frosted or iced with dark colors, and the cake is not so fresh, you will notice the cream of the frosting not being perfect in shape, it will be flat and may even seep into the layers of the cake and the white portions of the cake.
- When you order or buy a cake from any cake shop and you are even a little bit unsure of the freshness of the cake, always go for a cake that has a buttercream frosting. Such a frosting will not let excess air reach the cake and make it dry and the overall texture unpleasant.
- Also, cakes that have been stored in the refrigerator are less likely to go bad and will retain its shape and structure along with the taste and flavors and all of the nutrients and other health benefits that come from various ingredients in the cake batter.
- If the cake has gotten quite bad, you can see tiny cracks and breaks in the body of the cake. The eggs in the cake batter also give off an unpleasant smell and the cake that is not fresh will smell like eggs and even rotten eggs.
- If the cake is not soft and has become hard or if you can see moulds of some kind, do not eat it and immediately throw it out. You would not want to fall sick due to a bad cake.
Even when you bake a cake at home or have ordered a cake, the one that has cream and frosting, always and always store it in the refrigerator so that its shelf live extends by 2-3 days.
