Ok I'm trying to calm down, I get up this morning getting ready to make the frosting and assemble a 6 tier cake for tomorrow. I have my cream cheese, butter, raspberry fillings, chocolate ganache ready to be whipped all in the fridge. Yes I had the fridge pretty full and I think when my Son when in there late after work last night he didn't push the door shut, a gallon of milk or something must have kept the door from naturally sealing shut. So the door was ajar ALL NIGHT LONG. That means even though it would have ran all night the interior light bulb was on. The bagels on the top shelf were actually hot! My milk is cool, but the cream cheese was in the shelf door and does not feel that cold, can I use it? How about the ganache, it is just cool? So p'od right now. |

maybe I'm nasty but when I make cheesecake I take my cream cheese out before I go to bed at night then in the morning it's nice and soft for making the cheesecake.......barefoot contessa said that's how she does it on the food network so that's how I've done it since then......I've never had it go bad or taste bad or make anyone sick! You would think if it was horribly wrong they would have editted that part on the show?? |

When I'm making my cream cheese frosting, I leave mine out on the counter almost all day long (take it out of the fridge when I get out of bed and use it later on in the evening 5-6 pm) and never had any problems. |

I would use it. I would also tie your sons toes to the ceiling fan and put it on high. Just joking. Sing loud music in his room with the light on and wake him up. Just joking again. Well, maybe one of the two would work. |

I called the grocery store and talked to the dairy dept manager and he said sealed cream cheese is fine at room temp for quite a while. As far as the ganache, I have it on an ice bath so we'll see. I've calmed down now, if thats the worst I'm glad its over.  |
