MN bakers! Tell me about the 'shelf life' of a sponge cake!!

[tigana]

So...a birthday on monday. If I bake sponge cake tonight ( yes...I know it is half ten already...) will it still be nice on monday? (assuming I don't balls it up...which is a big assumption)
And could I ice it tonight too (butter icing)?

I think that answers my wondering!!

it'll be ok. be nicer if you could make it tomorrow though

lol, I really really want to write a story about life on the shelf, the shelf life of a sponge cake.

Yes the cake will still be nice on monday it is less than 48 hours away and if you pop sake in a tin it will be fine - I actually prefere cake a little older/mature than really fresh the sponge has time to settle and moisten a little.

Sorry about the first bit it is my silly humor

Poor sponge cake, left on the shelf...

It was so lonely since friendly crispy cake had run of into the rain with a lemon drizzle. Donught had been trying to cheer her up but then.....
