Decorating By brea1026 Updated 5 Oct 2007 , 1:40pm by MissRobin
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone knows if strawberried will be okay in a cake left at room temp overnight. Maybe this is a dumb question, but I am afraid to refrigerate it because it is covered in mmf and has cornelli lace done in royal icing and I am afraid that the RI will get funky when the cake sweats.
So yeah, the cake is WASC w/ buttercream dream filling and fresh slices strawberries. (I did sugar the strawberries after they were cut too). I am just wondering if all that sugar will be enough to preserve them until tomorrow morning. The wedding is at 10am.
Any help you might have would be soooo appreciated!! I am just so excited that it is 9:30pm and all I have left to do is pack my "tool kit"!!! Yeah!!! Hopefully it will go just as smooth tomorrow!
not refridging it
If you can you should put it in the fridg. The sugar on the berries will make them macerate, get juicy. Unless your room is very cold you need to refridgerate. I am more concerned about the royal on the fondant. Because fondant has fat it will ruin the royal, for that reason I prefer to decorate with buttercream on fondant. I'm in Az. we have our own rules, hope this helps.
No the fondant (which has very little fat) will not ruin your royal. I have piped royal straight onto SMBC and it was fine 2 days later. If the royal has dried a bit, it is fine to go into the fridge too. Same rules as fondant, it may shine a bit when it comes out so don't touch it till it dries again.
I would fridge the cake since the strawberries will juice much more heavily (especially if you sugared them - not something I would recommend...) at room temp.
