    Where do you keep your cakes?

    Fridge or cupboard?

    They're much better when not kept in the fridge I think but there's only 2 of us to eat it so I end up putting it in the fridge.

    I also wonder about the icing. If it has milk in it then isn't it weird not to refrigerate it?

    I usually keep them in a container on the bench and they never seem to last longer than 1 day in this house anyway lol. But it depends on the cake too - anything with cream goes in the fridge obviously, but fruit cake is best stored in the cupboard.

    I only make mudcakes at this stage so I keep mine in the fridge so the ganache icing doesn't get too melty. I add baileys to the ganache so it doesn't set as well and goes super soft and can ooze a bit.

    When I make cupcakes out of the same recipe and take them to work They usually si ton the bench wrapped but never last more than one day

    I'm not really a cake person. So the only times i have cake is at birthdays and then its usually all gone. But when my SIL made me my birthday cake for my birthday last year.. it was a massive castle cake (it was gorgeous) and it was so yummy so i kept the left overs and i just had it on the bench.. it kept for a few days because thats when it was all gone!

    I put mine in the fridge. I haven't noticed any difference between keeping them in a container in the cupboard or in the fridge actually, but they only last max 4 days around here anyway.

    I keep mine in a tin on the bench. I find that tupperware makes them sweat, but tins don't for some reason?

    If it has cream in the middle, then def in the fridge... a normal say choccie cake with just icing (with water) we leave covered on the bench... but then again, they are lucky to last a day or two...
