[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP update: one kid and I ate a piece last night and nobody got sick. Long live cake! [/quote]

Southern Living says the cream cheese frosted cakes should be refrigerated after 2 hours unless the frosting is the shelf-stable type: https://www.southernliving.com/does-cream-cheese-frosting-need-to-be-refrigerated-8385177#:~:text=While%20the%20addition%20of%20butter,be%20put%20in%20the%20fridge.

I agree. I'm late to this thread but would not leave a cake with homemade cream cheese frosting unrefrigerated.

Also immune systems vary. Some people (elderly, pregnant, young kids) are more susceptible to food poisoning. So just because a 40-year mom and her 15-year-old kid can eat such a cake without getting sick doesn't mean this is a good idea. [/quote]

No, you’re wrong. It’s just that it’s more dangerous for a very old or pregnant person or baby to be sick.

I mean obviously the OP and her kid not getting sick doesn’t mean anything about anything. The rules are just to minimize risk in a commercial setting. It’s not like something bad happens to your food after two hours. The rules are about minimizing the time food spends at a temperature where harmful bacteria can multiply. [/quote]
