How long can I keep my king cake before it goes stale?

[Bricks]

I've got a king cake sitting on my countertop, and I'm worried about it losing its freshness. How long does it typically stay tasty before it starts to get stale? Any storage tips to keep it fresh longer? Thanks a bunch!

King cake freshness is all about the filling! Unfrosted cakes or those with drier fillings like almond paste can reign supreme at room temperature for 2-3 days. Frosted cakes or those filled with creamy delights like cream cheese or fruit will last up to a week in the fridge, but for the best taste, gobble that king cake up within a few days!

It's best enjoyed within 2-3 days! Keep it fresh!
