06 Mar 2010
Im making a birthday cake topped with cream and merengue can i keep it refridgerated?
Thanks
you can but may go soft or soggy
if this is a topping i would make it seperate and keep it in an airtight container till serving, it will keep for quite a while so can be made in advance, then assemble just before serving

2010 Mar 07 4yes, you should keep it refrigerated. I work in a nice restaurant and we never leave our lemon meringue out. Keep it cold, but don’t freeze it.
