How Far In Advance Can I Prepare A Cake
Decorating By mschroder1 Updated 6 Apr 2007 , 4:24am by indydebi
Good Day!
I'm making a cake for Sunday, however, I want to make the cake Thursday evening, and ice it with buttercream. I was hoping to decorate it Saturday, and then present it at dinner for Sunday. Will the cake be okay? Too dry? Or go bad? I'm just going to be using a chocolate and yellow sponge cake.
thanks in advance!
baked, iced and decorated my daughter's baby shower cake on Thursday for a saturday party. stored it in the frig until sat. it tasted as fresh as straight out of the oven. I put a couple of leftover slices in a ziploc bag and ate one the following wed (one week old). it was still great!
Thank you so much!
Another question if you don't mind....the recipe calls for self raising flour, but can i just use regular flour instead?
To the best of my knowledge, they are NOT interchangeable! Self-rising has a leavening agent already in it so you will have to adjust the recipe accordingly!
found this info for you....

Flour (self-rising) Substitute
For 1 cup, use 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
