I am making a castle cake that has a lot of gumpaste details on it. Specifically the turrets, crennelations, etc. I am delivering it to a Rennaissance Festival that requires vendors to deliver before the fest. opens for the weekend. So I have to deliver it on a friday and the wedding is on sunday. The cake will be in their walk in refrigerator for the whole time from Friday to Sunday. Do you think my gumpaste will hold up, or will the decorations crumble after being refrigerated for so long? If you do think there will be a problem, how can I prevent it? I have no other option but to deliver on Friday, so delivering later won't work. Any advice/suggestions?
Anyone??? C'mon, I know SOMEone has the answer!!
It sounds like you don't have much choice-- The only problem that I've ever had with refrigerating gum paste accents is that once I had something wilt a little after it had been brought back to room temp--it was a very thin gum paste carriage without much support.
That said, I've had people refrigerate my gift cakes with gum paste bows--and gum paste people with no problem. I've never had anything melt into a blob from being in the fridge--as I had read was a possiblity on a CC thread a long time ago! I think you'll be fine.- Good luck!
