Our sponge cakes freeze and defrost very well - some customers even prefer working on them semi-frozen, finding it easier to get a perfect finish to the icing on a very firm base. We don't recommend freezing our fruit cakes, and there should be no need as they keep very well for 18 months from baking. It is not a good idea to freeze our sugarpastes or flowerpaste - in our experience, it does not extend the life, and you risk problems with condensation on the icing as it defrosts. The 'result' may end in a tiny fraction of a gram, as the scaler is VERY accurate! You canjust round it to the nearest sensible number, depending on the unit you are using. EG rounding to the nearest whole number is fine if you are using grams. If you are using kilograms, pounds or ounces you will still need to paysome attention to the numbers after the decimal place!

The table below gives a rough guide tohow muchribbonis needed for various sizes of cakes and cakeboards. The quantity is more for a cake than for the same sized board ~ this is because once the cake is covered, it will be larger than the size of the cake base.

In addition to ready made sponge cakes, we also offer ready made cupcakes, vegan cupcakes, fruit cakes, and cake mixes, ensuring you have everything you need to create professional-looking cakes with ease. The weight can be in grams, kilograms, ounces or millilitres. You only need to enter a number in the box, not the unit of measurement. The scaler will work in the same way for any unit of measurement, and it won't matter if some ingredients are entered using imperial weights and others in metric. You just need to remember which unit you used for each ingredient, so you can use the same unit to measure out the amount given in the 'results' column.
