HI

I have a cake due for Saturday and am wondering if it is okay to make the cake today and decorate it, put it in the fridge........would it still be somewhat fresh? It would be like 4 days in the fridge....is that too long?

Thanks!

Tammy

In my opinion....way too long. I don't think a decorated cake sitting in the frig for 4 days would taste good at all. Maybe if you are trying to get a head start you could bake and freeze the cakes and then decorate them on Fri or Sat.

does it have to go in the fridge???? I've made cakes covered in bc and also covered in fondant and both were out for like 5 days+ and they were delicious! The fridge IMO dries cakes out more than if they're just out at room temp in a box. Once they're cut then the shelf life is only a day or two!

I agree too long in fridge. The smells in fridge can attract to the cake. I would freeze the cake until the day before needed. Then decorate the cake. If you can. icon_smile.gif

That's what I thought, but a little part of me was hoping.....

I'm having work done in my house and it's going to be a little messy (dry wall dust) so, I was hoping I could decorate the cakes early.......oh well, I'll figure something out!

Thanks!
