Ganache icing out of fridge for 24 hours

[Thoughtthatcounts]

Dd made a lovely chocolate cake yesterday and poured ganache icing made with fresh cream over it. I had no room in the fridge so it’s been at room temp for 24 hours. Can we eat the cake that is left tonight or is it a big no?

Yes of course you can.

I would

Of course you can.

Of course you can eat it. I'd never put it in the fridge.

The EHO would tell you that it needs to be refrigerated due to the fresh cream.

We never chill ganache covered cakes.
It will be fine.

Room temp at the moment is pretty cool and the sugar will help preserve. I think it’s fine.

My cake holder is too big for the fridge so it stays outside the fridge for a few days until the cake is finished. My birthday cake that I covered in ganache was out for 4 or 5 days

Nah. It'll kill you. Send it my way, I'll take one for the team

Yes courrier it here, I'll do some extensive scientific testing on it to see if it's safe

nomnomnomnom

Perfectly safe for a few days at room temperature.

I'd risk it! But probably wouldn't give it to a toddler or elderly person etc

Just don't ask Gregg Wallace that question, or he would say it is a sexual innuendo 😂

I've been eating un-refrigerated ganache covered birthday cake all day, so far so good...........

The high fat content in cream means it's lower in water so won't spoil as fast as milk for example, and as others have said the sugar aids significantly. I wish I had cake right now
