California Birthday: Nov 29 Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 7:49 pm  I just remembered a cake disaster I had a couple of years ago. I was making a tiered bridal shower cake and I wrapped the cakes and put them in the fridge overnight. Well unbeknownst to me, my dh had been marinating these ribs for the smoker and he put them in the same fridge I had my cakes in. Well what do you know...when I took the cakes out the next morning to work on them, they stunk to high heaven of garlic and all that crap he used for the marinade. I didnt' have time to re-bake all those cakes so I just decorated them and delivered the cake as is She never called to say how the cakes turned out and I didn't bother to call her either...I never received another cake order from her again...and I know why!!! Isn't that awfull??!!!!! smashcakes Forum Addict Joined: Aug 27, 2005 Posts: 573 Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 7:55 pm  HA HA. i guess you could have tried dousing them with vanilla.

I had a cake to deliver this Satuday afternoon and we had cereal for breakfast because I didn't want to take the chance that my cake would to taste like bacon ;o) There is also a person who does cakes in our area that smokes. Iv'e walked in her shop and seen her smoking and decorating. We don't smoke and don't like her cakes because we can taste that in her cakes. boonenati Forum Fanatic Joined: Oct 13, 2005 Posts: 1589 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 7:52 pm  chellebell70 wrote: That's really something how cakes will take on an odor like that.

Really gross. chellebell70 Regular Member Joined: Mar 09, 2006 Posts: 125 Location: Michigan Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:49 pm  I would assume that it is illegal - I'm sure that the health dept. wouldn't appreciate it at the very least!!! acookieobsession Forum Fanatic Joined: Jul 24, 2005 Posts: 1020 Location: NC Birthday: Mar 19 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 9:00 pm  I remember reading in the health dept report on the famous cake decorator (it was in another post...can't remember who) but it said they were in violation for drinking coffee while decorating so smoking has GOT to be illegal. Blech! boonenati Forum Fanatic Joined: Oct 13, 2005 Posts: 1589 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 9:12 pm  acookieobsession wrote: I remember reading in the health dept report on the famous cake decorator (it was in another post...can't remember who) but it said they were in violation for drinking coffee while decorating so smoking has GOT to be illegal. Blech! oh, now that makes sense, here you can't drink or eat in your food preparation area, even if you're baking from home. Nati PS Now knowing this, im even more suprised she hasnt been reported, if customers come in and find her smoking, then it's something she does on a regular basis and is not hiding.

Please don't tell me she has a licensed business. She should be reported. boonenati Forum Fanatic Joined: Oct 13, 2005 Posts: 1589 Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 9:23 pm  Cake_Princess wrote: chellebell70 wrote: That's really something how cakes will take on an odor like that.

She wouldn't have a shop at all if she got caught doing that in New York. Smoking is practicly banned from everywhere in NY State. No smoking even in the bars. If you want to light up you have to stand outside. It's awful when it's raining though...a wet smoker smells worse than a wet dog! goodcakefairy Frequent Member Joined: Oct 12, 2005 Posts: 253 Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:50 pm  Nati- Stupid question on my part, but is it specifically illegal to smoke while decoratin cakes? Or just while preparing food in general? Just interested.

I can't stand cigarettes...NO ONE is even allowed to smoke in our home!!! It just makes me all the more glad that I make our cakes!!!! prettycake Not Registered Joined: Mar 10, 2006 Posts: 1350 Location: Elk Grove, CA Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 1:03 pm  I'm not in the cake business, although I make a lot of them as a hobby.. That's exactly why I have a separate fridge in the garage mainly just for my cakes. or party food when I'm entertaining.. I don't think it made them sick..just smelly.. oh well...
