Good day madam bece, pls I urgently need ur help as am so devastated n broken right now,I really can't explain wot I did wrong or how it went bad. All of a sudden a client called to complaing her wedding cake tasted spoilt just 3days after her wedding. This as never happened to me before. Pls ma what to do u think I did wrong? Tnx as I await your response

1st thing you need to tell us - what kind of cake was it? If it was a fruit cake I think the cake wasn't properly done/baked.

Yes ib it was a fruit cake. Thanks for ur reply.you could be right abt it not properly baked but is that the only that can cause a wedding cake to go bad so soon? Really apreciate ur response

For a fruit cake to go bad so soon that is the most obvious reason to me. Fruits cake can stay on the shelf as long as 3months(ie with refridgerator) and can last as long as one year when refridgerated. Also its advisable you base you wedding cakes with jam instead of buttercream cause with buttercream the shelf life is reduced. But I doubt it cause your cake to go bad in 3 days.

@taryour ibzgirl has told u the obvious reasons why ur cake got spoilt. Another thing make sure ur cakes are cold before covering them,make sure ur cake board,ur work surface ur knifes etc are sterilized before use. Most times I use edible spirit or alchol †✽ clean my stuffs when I want †✽ start decorating.
†✽ pacify the customer try bake another small cake for her maybe a 12inch or 14.
Shit happens in ds business at times but ur ability †✽ pacify and regain a customer's trust makes u go a long way. Apologise well †✽ d client n don't let that demoralize u dear.

@bece n @ib you are both awesome and have both made me happy and relieved,God bless you real big. And yet madam bece I immediately baked a 2 tier cake of 12" n 8" in replacement of the spoilt one. I realy aprecaite your responses and henceforth. I will start using jam to base my cake,though I tried it twice by melting the jam befor applying and it looked like the jam disappeared into d cake as I spread on d cake so I felt it wunt hold d fondant. Next time I wunt melt the jam or what do u think?

Would also want to confirm which is best used in wedding cakes,evaporated milk or powdered milk? Thanks a lot
