I made a cake last night for my class tonight, torted it and used blackberry jam as a filling. I then covered it with buttercream and fondant and left it sitting out covered last night and today. Will the cake be okay to eat or should I just pitch it after class.
Cake covered in fondant can be cut up to a week later. The fondant seals everything inside. Once it has been cut, then it should probably be used up in 2 to 3 days. I normaly don't let mine dit that long, but when I have had the need to do it, they have been find - in fact, I have had people tell me that they were really moist!!
I'm sure you are enjoying your class and keep up the good work!
The jam filling won't go bad? I have always avoided using jam because I thought it had to be fridged? I will be thrilled to find out I'm wrong.
What if you just covered it in buttercream?
A cake covered in buttercream should usually be cut and served in 2 to 3 days. It does not hold in the moisture as well as the fondant. Remember that fondant seals the cake. The fruit fill should be fine as long as there was a good size dam to hold it in.
Thanks so much for the info on jam
That makes me super happy It will give me more filling options now.
