Mascarpone Frosting On A Red Velvet Cake - Travelling Unrefrigerated + Requested Delivery Date 3 Days Before Event
Decorating By c4k3m4k3r Updated 12 Mar 2014 , 9:56am by leah_s
The title pretty much says it all. I have a request for a 2 tiered red velvet cake covered in mascarpone cheese frosting.
Here's the deal:
-requester lives 7 hours from where the event will take place (baby baptism "back home")
-no possibility of refrigeration during the drive (2 kids in the car, as well, so there will be many stops)
-they are leaving Thursday morning (which means delivery Wednesday) and the baptism is Saturday so this means they won't be cutting that cake until day 3
I always bake and deliver fresh so this 3 day time difference is worrying me. I always refrigerate cakes and considering this one is cream cheese, I don't feel comfortable having it go to room temperature during that drive. I've also never worked with mascarpone and am finding conflicting information about refrigeration requirements.
Thanks in advance for any info you could give!
it would be out only during transportation. so there would be a 7-10 hour gap in refrigeration. would be refrigerated until delivery and then refrigerated once it arrives.
it's for a friend so i really hate to say no.
also, what about the quality after 3 days? i'm used to serving fresh only.
