How should I store my GemCake when it arrives?
Our GemCakes are lusciously moist. Removing them from their satin GemBoxes and storing them in an air tight container is best. We recommend refrigerating or freezing the Luscious Lemon GemCakes after 3 days. The cherry brandy spritzed on the Chocolate and Cinnamon Spice GemCakes acts as a preservative. We still suggest refrigerating or freezing after one week.
