Okay, I know that this is a weird inquiry, but does anyone know if and how much a cake will absorb smoke from the air if left on the counter?
Here in Montana we're in the peak of fire season and unfortunately where I live we are being hit pretty hard. There is a wild fire on each side of the area I live and with no wind for days, we are socked in with smoke. The air pretty much smells like a campfire 24/7 and after a few hours so do you.
I have 4 cakes boxed up and on the counter waiting for delivery but that's not going to hapen for several hours. Will they be okay, or do I need to look for an alternative storage solution? Anybody?
I really have no idea. Does it effect your other food, like bread?
To be safe I would wrap the boxes with sarn wrap
I'm not sure of the answer but if they are boxed I would put them inside a large plastic bag (non-scented) and tape it very well just to be on the safe side.
You might want to try an experiment by making a cake and boxing and leaving it on the counter then tasting it to see if you can detect smoke.
Thank you everyone for your reponses. I think I was in panic mode at my second post 
I went ahead and double boxed, wrapped, then I found a ginormous (is that a word 
) ziploc that I shoved everything into. Hopefully that will keep anything down to a minimum.
I let everyone I delivered to to let me know if the cake tasted "toasted". Luckily, they've all been liing through the same smoke and were more than understanding. Thanks again!
