Question 9

When does Cherry Cake expire?

For long-term storage, you can also freeze cherry cake where it’s good for up to 4-6 months. Just remember to let it defrost overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Question 10

How do you tell if Cherry Cake is bad?

If your cherry cake develops mold, or if it has an off odor or taste, it has gone bad. Another way to tell is that it simply becomes too dry to enjoy.
