does this cake topper have a shelf life or do you have to use it immediately

I believe the instructions that came with my order said 30 days. I ordered mine 2 weeks in advance and it was perfectly fine :)

I ordered it 3 weeks before I used it. I just kept it in the plastic bag that it came with.

I ordered mine around February. Just now, it's getting caked due to moisture. If you have it in a truly airtight jar, it should keep for a very long time. The little moisture-fighting packet gets less effective after awhile. But then, I'm just finishing it after 7 months.

This will last a very long time....After you use it for the first time you must keep it refrigerated....I freeze mine and until I am ready to use it again

I go through it very fast because I bake a lot. I use it in frostings, icings and for my Red Velvet cake. I have some other colors that I didn't use very often over the past 7 years and they are fine to use, they are just liquefied instead of a gel.

The shelf life is indefinite. It is inert and refrigeration would not add or detract from it's shelf life.

I would suggest putting in the fridge to ensure that the cake keeps! But it does keep them for a couple days at room temp.....but if they have fruit you need too refrigerate! Or the fruit will mold.....

It doesn't have a short shelf life, but I can't remember how long it is off the top of my head. Go to the manufacture's site and contact them.

Yes, don't open it or refrigerate. Refrigeration will make it brittle. That happened to my Mario brothers topper. It works best on whipped icing as a fyi. I got this order filled and delivered within 4 days. You should be able to order a week before the party.

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

Probably indefinite. As long as it's kept dry there's nothing that can go bad, it's like storing sugar. If you're using it in recipes it won't last long enough to worry about shelf life.

At least 2 weeks before your son's party. Shelf life is 12 months. Always keep image stores at room temperature, be sure to keep it in a sealed air thigh zip-lock bag inside the packing envelope out of any direct light, until ready to apply to cake.Natalie

We store it in the cupboard , usually use it up in 3 months. It stays good, doesn't seem to lose flavor, or cake up in that 3 month period. Hope this helps!

Yes, after opening, otherwise it won't last very long. If you leave it out overnight or something, don't worry about it too much, just get it back in the fridge. It may lessen the life, but not by much.

As a seller we advise that you keep them sealed, out of the light and DO NOT refrigerate them while in storage. Apply at least 24 hours in advance so that the sheet can meld into the frosting, as the sheet assumes the taste of the frosting, it should taste just fine as long as your frosting is good. Buttercream frosting is recommended.

Mine doesn't seem to last long enough to worry about shelf life. I am always careful to put the lid on very tightly because I don't want any to evaporate.I presume it would last for quitue a while if It's not opened. I use mine pretty quickly, so I don't have to worry about that.

The expiration date on my purchase is Dec. 2015 (it was purchased several months ago). Storage instructions say to store in an airtight container at room temperature. The label states no time limit after opening, however there is only enough for a couple of large sheet cakes( 75 servings, according to the label).
