I have a friend coming to pick up this cake I made in 2 hours, and I am so dumb, I left it sitting out over night and it has a cream cheese filling! I totally forgot to stick it in the fridge. I am about to cry. The only hope I have is, well it's covered in fondant, and someone told me that the fondant seals everything in so it doesn't need to be refridgerated... is this true? Would this actually apply to a cream cheese filling..?! I know I am totally reaching, but what should I do??! She needs this cake for tonight for a get together at her house.
whats your filling made of, and how hot is your house.
Personally. i would be leary of giving anyone a cake the has cc in it without refrigeration but if it is cr ch icing filling, or the commercial stuff, and its set in a fairly cool room overnight you might be okay.
no, it's homemade with cream cheese. I just googled this and found some other reference and some people were saying cream cheese is fine left out overnight in a cool house??? Others saying they never refridgerate cream cheese frosting and its fine..?
I guess I am just going to confess what happened to her and see what she wants to do. Atleast it is a friend and not a stranger This sucks though.

Don't cry yet. Did you use straight cream cheese or did you mix it with sugar? Sugar acts as a stabilizer for dairy. My friend makes her frostings with a little cream cheese to make it a little sweeter and she doesn't refrigerate.
It's like salting meat.... preserves it. So does sugar for dairy. So you are probably safe!
Is going to be ok,,I do them all the time and stay out of the fridge fine.I am from PR and we have a dessert done with cream cheese that is left out of the fridge no problem..I wouldnt do it for too many days.. But your cake is ok for a night out..'

yeah, I think you are fine...I wouldn't even tell her. You don't want to worry anyone! It's fine!
I mixed the cream cheese with strawberry preserves and marshmallow fluff. I filled the cake, iced it with buttercream and had the cake refridgerated then took it out yesterday evening, covered it in fondant and left it on my counter over night. It's back in the fridge now.
I bet the strawberry preserves have preservatives in them... that will help. Seriously though, you are fine! No worries!
