Is this going to make her ill- fresh cream out of fridge for 2 days!

[Justmoveon]

Dd made a cake on Thursday. We cut it in half and she put fresh cream and jam in one half. I meant to put it in the fridge but forgot. It was left on the side of kitchen counter in a box. I’ve had a crazy few days and forgot to throw it away. She said I’m going to have a piece of cake and I said don’t have that one with cream in eat the other half with jam in it. She then told me she had already eaten a small slice today. Is this going to make her really ill?

Anyone?

Have you smelt it? It’ll stink if it’s off. If not, she might be ok but I wouldn’t eat any more.

I doubt it will cause any big issue if the cream didn't taste or smell bad. At least it was only a small slice.

It’s thrown away now but smelt ok. Feel really terrible that I hadn’t dealt with it before now.

I dont like cream in the fridge, I like it room temperature

In the old days cream cakes in the bakers were not in the fridge

Fat takes a long time to go off, full fat cheese, milk, butter, cream, cottage cheese etc all are protected, I usually leave my milk out all day so Im not in and out of the fridge. I leave butter out on the worktop

Fat protects things from going off, like potted beef or potted shrimp.

I would like a cream cake now.

Nah, it would have been revolting if it was off. If it tasted fine she'll be fine.

Thanks all…. You have made me feel better

Bit heartbroken at the thought of that cake in that bin

I can visualise it from here.

I would always leave a fresh cream cake on the counter for a couple of days (it never lasts longer then that)! I don't mind chilled cream, but putting cake in the fridge should be a crime.

Dairy is generally very safe, because it smells/tastes awful BEFORE it is dangerous.

Agree with the consensus. It would probably have been fine and if not she probably would have known immediately from the taste and smell. Similar to milk.

I am mourning a cake in the bin 🎂😥

Poor cake. Strawberry and cream cake ☺️
