This has really helped me I baked a cake on monday night to be collected on wed early morning I.added enough alcohol to it .... I tasted it before covering it was still good Only for the costumer to call that it has gone bad when they cut it From what you said about sugar reduction...I think that's the issue Cos she requested not wanting it sugary at all

I have experienced spoilage just once with a coconut cake but I think it was because I used vanilla flavored yoghurt instead of the natural cos that’s what I had at home at that moment and left the cake out of the fridge for 2days after it had been cut.
