I have just taken my chocolate cake out of the freezer to thaw (Saturday). My plan was to fill it and crumbcoat it tonight and then let it settle over night before covering with fondant and decorating (Sunday) for the customer to collect Tuesday, which is what she booked.

I am always a bit time pressed as I work till 3pm every day and have two littles under four. I just flicked her a text saying what time did she intend to collect on Tuesday and I get the reply that would it suit to collect on Thursday evening. I said that she had to collect on Tuesday as arranged as we had going to be away for two days as my son is having an operation.

I am a little bit concerned that the cake won't be fresh if she does serve it on Thursday night. What is everybody's experience with this? I thought that even as it was it might have been cutting it a bit fine....
