Wow, that's good to know... I have always put mine in the fridge if I need it the next day and then have to wait till it 'thaws' out...thanks for enlightening me once again. I can not even count the number of little helpful tidbits just like that I have found on this website. It's true, you do learn something new every day!!
Thanks again indydebi!!

Thank you so much for this link! Knowing how to do something is cool, but knowing how and why something works is way cooler. I love watching Alton Brown because of the explanations behind why something works.

It also gives you better credibility, instead of saying "Because". When a bride expresses concern over her cake sitting out for "3 whole hours!" (big sigh!), I first remind her that a cake she makes for her family sits out way longer than that, and second, I explain the water activity in sugar, preservative, blah blah blah. Same with frozen cake ... how refrigerating a cake actually accelerates the "going stale" process and freezing a cake halts that process. I sound smart, they are amazed, and all is well with the world!
