I have to say I share your concerns ladies, but I’ve done what you advised Jennifer. I’ve informed him that I’m trying to salvage the cake and have frozen it, as per your instructions. I’ve told him that I will defrost it a few days before the party but that there is a likelihood it may not defrost well and that the colour could bleed. I’ve told him if that happens I’ll have to make another one and he has agreed, since it was his mistake in the first place, that he would pay for another cake to be made if that happened. I sent him photos of the finished cake and he was delighted with how it looked. In future I will double check dates with everyone to make sure. Thank you all so much for your advice. I had no idea what to do. xxx
