How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any uneaten pastries in their original, unopened packaging at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat. Once opened, it is best to consume the remaining pastry within a day or two for optimal taste and texture. Do not refrigerate, as this can affect the pastry's consistency.
