Should I Refrigerate A Cake After Doing A Fbct?
Decorating By bfranzen Updated 18 Jun 2009 , 3:44pm by 2txmedics
I'm doing a cake later this week with a FBCT. After I add the FBCT, should I leave the cake on the counter or put it in the frig? I've read the tutorial about FBCT (I've done them before, but not for a long time) and am wondering about condensation.
Also, when the customer picks up the cake, should they keep it in the frig or is it ok to leave out? They are picking up Thursday for a Friday night birthday party. If they refrigerate, will there be condensation when they bring it out?
Thanks

There will be condensation if you refrigerate it. I personally don't mind the condensation and I've never had my customers complain about it. But it's up to you. I know a lot of the decorators on here use fillings that don't need to be refrigerated because they don't want condensation on their cakes. But I prefer to have a cake with delicious fillings and little condensation, but it's totally a matter of opinion.
When I have done FBCT, I have left them out. However, if you are decorating Wed night, they are picking up on Thursday and won't eat until Friday, I don't know if I would want it to sit out that long. If you are decorating Thursday, I don't think it would be a problem.
On my fbct I used all crisco instead of butter and it was fine leaving it out...hope this helps
