If you plan on eating or serving your cake within a few days, keeping it at room temperature is a great idea. Place the cake on a pretty cake stand with a lid or just gently wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it on the counter. A cake will keep at room temperature for about three to four days.
Exactly how long your cake will keep in the refrigerator before spoiling or drying out beyond desirability is largely dependent on the type of cake (and potentially, how long it was left at room temperature prior to refrigeration). Generally speaking, a cake properly stored in the fridge should last between three to seven days.
Keeping a cake fresh after baking is essential if you want to enjoy it for more than a day or two. Without proper storage, cakes can quickly dry out, lose their taste, or even spoil. Different types of cakes need different storage methods to keep them as delicious as when they were first made.
Airtight Containers: Great for storing cakes at room temperature or in the fridge for a short time. They keep the cake moist and help retain flavor. Plastic Wrap and Foil: Ideal for short-term storage or if freezing the cake. Wraps help keep moisture in and protect the cake. Some cakes come with fresh fruit, chocolate, or even edible flowers.
