Refrigerate It Or Box It? I Can't Do Both...
Decorating By Madiken Updated 15 Jan 2010 , 1:40am by Madiken
Hi,
I just finished a two tier cake that is being picked up tomorrow. The lady picking it up is taking it an hour away so I would ideally like to refrigerate it to make it as stable as possible for transport. However, I can't fit the cake in the fridge while boxed. Can I refrigerate an uncovered buttercream cake or will the icing go hard? Should I box it and leave it unrefrigerated or should I refrigerate it and box it when she gets here?
Thanks for your help!
Unless you have stinky food in your frig, the buttercream will be fine uncovered.
If you really need to put your mind at ease, remove the least perishable foods from your frig to a cooler with ice so you can make room for the boxed cake.
can someone please explain why i don't wanna refridgerate cakes with fondont. how would i store them for a next day pick up.
Yes, the buttercream will soften up just fine.
In fact, sealing a cake (like in Tupperware, plastic wrap, etc.) can cause more problems than leaving the cake uncovered. The temperature fluctuations from frig to room temp to car, etc. can cause blowouts in the icing or condensation drips.
