Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Funfetti Cake expire?
A store-bought Funfetti Cake, unopened, typically has a shelf life of 2-4 weeks past the 'Sell by' date printed on the package, if it's stored at room temperature. Once the Funfetti Cake has been opened, it stays fresh for about 2-3 days at room temperature. However, if you have baked a homemade Funfetti Cake, it will stay good for about 2-3 days at room temperature or 1 week if stored in the fridge. The homemade cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months for longer preservation.
How do you tell if Funfetti Cake is bad?
There are some telltale signs to look out for when trying to determine if your Funfetti Cake has gone bad. If you notice a stale, musty odor coming from the cake or it has developed a dry, crumbly texture, it's probably no longer good to eat. Additionally, any visible instances of mold or discoloration are clear signs the cake has spoiled.
Tips for storing Funfetti Cake to extend shelf life
• Always store the cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh for longer.
• Avoid storing the cake near spices or strong-smelling foods as cakes can easily absorb other odors.
• If you're storing a store-bought cake, keep it in its original packaging until you're ready to serve it.
• For increased shelf life, consider refrigerating the cake. It can prolong the freshness for up to a week.
• Remember to seal the cake well before freezing it to maintain its quality. Defrost it overnight in the refrigerator for the best results.
