Handling Instructions

All of our cheesecakes are shipped frozen in specially designed packaging to safely transport our products. Cheesecakes will ship with gel-paks on all cheesecakes. As long as the cake is cool to the touch, it is perfect for eating even if the gel-pak has melted. For cakes shipped with gel-paks, dispose of the Styrofoam and place the cake in the Its Just Cheesecake cake box. These cakes will be shipped in a insulated box.  Our cheesecakes should be removed from their packaging upon arrival. At this point, you may consume, refrigerate, or refreeze. Our cakes will last up to seven days in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer. Whichever you choose, your cheesecake will taste fresh as if you pick up yourself here in Houston, TX.  Cakes can be refrozen.

Serving Suggestions

Cheesecakes should be served at room temperature. If frozen, leave the cake overnight in the refrigerator and defrost on the counter 3 hours before serving. Otherwise, defrost on the counter 4-5 hours before serving. Yes, it really takes that long. A few of our fruit items and "cakes within a cake" items are best slightly cool. These include cheesecakes such as the Strawberry Cheesecake and the Peach Cobbler, Banana Pudding Cheesecake.

Use a knife that has been dipped in hot water to cut the cheesecake. A chef's knife or cake knife works best. Wipe the knife with a damp towel in between each slice to ensure a smooth cut. Watch for fast hands trying to grab the cut slices! Enjoy!
