I'm supposed to set up my wedding cake 3 hours before it will begin to be eaten. Does this mean the filling will have to be the kind that doesn't need refrigeration? Because I was planning on using strawberry mousse. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions please!!

My suggestion............NO mousse! LOL sorry, but I would not risk leaving it out that long. I would use a filling that does not need refrig.

3 hours is a long time to be out for strawberry mousse! I think you would be pushing it.

I do it all the time icon_smile.gif

As long as your recipe is sturdy enough it will hold up. 3 hours is not long enough for it to spoil. Food safety rules say 4 hours and that is being very cautious.

Is it just a whipped cream with strawberries? You could use Pastry Pride.

But I've left out whipped CHOCOLATE mousse out for a couple of hours and the cake was fine.

I just wouldn't do it with plain mousse.
