This week has been hellish. Today especially. 15 cakes going out this weekend, 12 of them buttercream. 1 being a 2 tier vintage-esque wedding cake going to a venue with no aircon and no fridge space! I started work at 7am. It’s 10.30 now and I’m debating another 2 hours or getting up at 5am. I have 7 cakes in my fridges, 2 in the freezer and 4 that still need icing but with no cool space to go, they will have to be patient until tomorrow. At its peak, with 2 ovens on today, my kitchen was about 43degrees.
I just pray all my pretty creations survive this weekend!!!
Oh and that it snows and rains all next week!!! 😂😂😂
This is why so many bakers delayed or cancelled orders during this heatwave.
In just two hours at 36°C, a buttercream cake can go from perfect to melting. Now imagine that cake sitting in a hot delivery van for hours.
We’d rather delay an order than send out something we know won’t arrive looking its best. Your cake deserves better than that. ❤️
