Cakes,treats safe in fridge?
Are cakes like Mr kipling products and fairy cake safe to leave in fridge ? as the warmer weather makes them taste all dried out and flavourless .

Not if there are children or me in the house.
I always thought that an air-tight container in the larder was the way to go. Do people still have larders? I'm in a flat, so my answer would be 'no' to that. |

I'm afraid no treats are safe in our fridge due to a marauding Mr Mazz.
I swear he will 'force down' stuff he doesn't even like (plain chocolate) just becuase he has found it in the fridge. It's so annoying. I buy stuff that he likes and then stuff that I like (our tatses differ), but because I eat treats at a much slower rate, by the time I go to the fridge to get my treat, it's usually long gone. ![]() In answer to your question, I think cakes put in an airtight tupperware container or similar and then in the fridge might keep a bit longer in the warm weather (unless you have a Mr Mazz in your house). |

Do they melt in your cupboards?
I find that leaving them in a dark cupboard works fine... no melting for me. I suppose you can always refrigerate it, however let it thaw out for an hour or so before consuming and it should resort to room temperature and be back to normal? |

This appears to be a fiendishly clever excuse to moan about warm weather.
That said, I keep my chocolate in the fridge else it hurts my teeth. Putting stuff like Manor House in the fridge might make it soggy, I'm not sure, If its getting dried out then you have left it open. Use an air tight container. |

Isn't it great that the lovely hot weather makes it necessary to keep treats in the fridge?
I hope we have months and months of it as the BBC weatherman is promising. |

They're not in the fridge when you buy them in the supermarket, so putting them in the fridge seems like overkill
They are sealed in a plasic bag, though. So once you open them, I suppose you should put them in an airtight tin A cake tin - that's the thing you need. Then you leave that in the cupboard. |

I normally freeze them, then get them out about 5 mins before you want to eat them and they're lovely and cool.
Very handy when the local Co-Op has a load of Bakewell slices reduced..

Stick 'em in a airtight container and stick them in a cool cupboard. Putting cakes in the fridge I find dries them out.

Not safe in my fridge, unless I hide them in the salad drawer where the kids never look.

Yep, I can't afford bought cakes so it's all home baking here. The problem with that is, instead of 6 miniscule Mr Kraplings, you get 24 huge homemade cakes - and the kids can smell em baking so they tend to eat the whole lot in a day. So nothing much gets stored.

The best way to avoid worrying about cakes in the fridge is not to buy them in the first place. It's no fun loosing weight - you miss the treats. But you feel better and saves money because you cut out buying pointless food. |

Loosing weight at the moment - about 1.5 stone since Christmas.
