Does a pound cake work well with a strawberry preserve filling? It has to have a strawberry preserve filling and NOT be a chocolate cake.

Any ideas? What type of icing would you use?*

*It will be covered in fondant.

It comes to the point where I diagnose myself with paranoia in regards to my products being free from spoilage!

Will the BC dream spoil if left out in 60 degree weather because of the milk? icon_redface.gif

I have spoilage paranoia too! I can't handle when people want to let cakes sit out the whole party and then eat it!

LOL! Exactly. I like my cakes to be cold. . .JMO.

We need to invent a cake board that keeps the cake at the right temperature. icon_wink.gif

That's what I wanted to do, but it's going to be an outside thing and I have "spoilage paranoia". Will it spoil in 50-60 degree weather?

My husband and I have talked about this at length because he has spoilage paranoia as well. He thinks we could have a cold board and cooling dowel rods. I'm not really electrically inclined so I wouldn't know how to even start that, but it would be funny needing to put the cake near a plug icon_wink.gif

I made the BC Dream last night for the first time and yummy...I replaced the milk w/non dairy coffee creamer....of course, if you are worried about the butter itself....I'm not sure of an alternative unless you use all crisco and use butter flavoring.

I actually checked with my guy from our health dept. (he is a well of endless knowledge) regarding butter in frosting and leaving it out. He said the sugar in buttercream inhibits the ability of frosting to grow harmful bacteria quickly (aka like eggs left out, etc.) and it is not a matter of food safety, but a matter of palatability/quality. I know that doesn't help a whole lot, but it may knock off one ingredient to worry about. I keep forgetting to ask about cream cheese, whipped cream, etc.

Good luck!
