What’s the Best Way to Make Valentines Mini Cakes?
There’s nothing wrong with making a traditional homemade cake from scratch. I’ve done that plenty of times, and they turn out great. But I find that it’s not necessary when you can make a moist, fabulous cake using a cake mix – with consistent results.
Make this easy on yourself, particularly if you’re a beginner baker or a mom with a lot on your plate like me. I don’t see the need to overcomplicate! LOL!
How Do You Store Mini Bundt Cakes?
We recommend storing your mini cakes in an airtight container and keeping them at room temperature. If you’d like to keep the cakes for longer, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Ensure you take the cakes out at least 30 minutes before serving so they can reach room temperature.
