To all those who have your own storefront how long do you keep your cupcakes and cakes in the cases. If they don't sell that day do you freeze or refrigerate them for the next day, do you throw them out? There is a new coffee shop opening up and they want to carry my cakes and cupcakes, but I am a licensed home baker so I dont have a storefront so I dont know how long those items will keep in the bakery cases!!! Thanks in advance

I would certainly keep tight control over my product if I were you. It's your name on it! I stopped selling to a restaurant because the owner would keep my cakes and cupcakes out for over a week. Of course they were stale and tasteless after a certain amount of time. Again - my name on the product.

Don't refrigerate cake at all. It stales much faster. Baked in the morning and frozen at night doesn't seem like a problem to me, but someone else may chime in with a different opinion. And you certainly wouldn't want to refreeze them every day.

I've been to bakeries that sell day-old merchandise at a reduced price. I've bought it - it tastes stale.

This isn't exactly on point to your question, but I got into trouble selling wholesale to a store that in turn sold my products retail. That sometimes requires a different license. Just check to be sure. I too am a licensed home bakery, but do not have a manufacturing license.
