Reply To: Cake/Cupcakes – Safe?

[Ryann Kipping]

Most baked goods are highly processed and therefore, there’s little chance of contamination. You can absolutely refrigerate them to improve freshness, plus don’t let them sit out on the counter for longer than 2 hours. You can also warm up things like brownies and cake! There’s more sugar than anything in frosting especially if it is store-bought vs. homemade. If homemade, you can easily refrigerate and know exactly how long has been sitting out. But, overall, I don’t think you need to avoid one small sweet treat for fear of contamination. ( :
