Consumption of the cake

Your cakes are baked fresh and decorated in the days prior to your wedding/event, therefore cakes are usually best consumed in the first 48 hours after delivery.  Cake freezes extremely well, so any leftover cake can be frozen as soon as possible and kept in the freezer for up to three months.
