Hi Julia – as far as I know – if you have any type of tummy bug you absolutely shouldn’t work with any type of food. If you only have a cold and make sure you don’t cough/sneeze on the cake and wash you hands lots as you’ve done then it should be fine. :-D . You could tell your customer that you have a cold – cold/flu bacteria only survive outside the body for 24 hours so as long as she is not eating the cake immediately it should be safe. Hope this is helpful x
