Working on 20 2-layer 6" cakes for a wedding tomorrow at 3:00. Each cake will have strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries in between with BC frosting outside of cakes. My question is do they need to be refrigerated once finished? I will probably be finished with them by 2-3:00 AM. What do you think?

I would definitely think so because of the strawberries.

I was wondering that, too. I bought them and they were not refrigerated.

I would think that if the stawberries are incased in the cake that they would not need to be refridgerated. No air to get to them

Don't strawberries and fruit in general start to spoil/decompose once cut? Much more quickly than when they are whole. Refrigeration slows the process?

That would be my guess. From my own non-cake experience, after I cut strawberries, they get soft very quickly. So they could make the cake soggy too quickly if left out.

I wonder if it's the air or the presence of bacteria that causes things to decompose/get soft. Hmmm.
