I have agreed to make a  wedding cake for this upcoming Saturday (Holiday weekend) and told the Bride I would make it if it could be delivered the day before the wedding which she did agreed to.  It is a  buttercream cake that will be able to be stored safely in one of the venues coolers until the reception.  I am wondering if it would ok if I began filling and crumbcoating my cakes Wednesday evening- frosting and stacking on Thursday with the delivery Friday morning?  I'm thinking it won't be an issue, in fact I personally like cakes that are made several days before serving.

sure you can start that now if you've tested your recipes and you know they will be ok for that long --

 

about storing at the venue-- i would protect the cake from other odors in the fridge and from getting bumped/moved/eaten/stolen -- i'd put it in a sealed box

I'm agree w/k8.  Definitely protect that cake.  I have heard so many horror stories.  You know, things happen :(

Thanks Ladies!   I am waiting to fill and stack until Thursday evening and will probably pull an all nighter!  That's the nature of the game isn't it  :)

idk -- for some but no not for me -- not if you want to safeguard your health -- if a loved one is in surgery or sick yes that's an all nighter -- for a cake -- no way -- all nighters are like shovelsful coming out of your future sinkhole--you never know when it's gonna go --

 

nobody will take care of you if you don't --
