Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
How long in advance can I make a sponge wedding cake
My daughter is making a three tier sponge wedding cake for her sister. It will either be covered in ganache and iced or covered in buttercream with chocolate curls. The question is she’s not sure how far in advance to make the sponge to ensure it stays nice and moist so could you advise. Also can you recommend a good recipe.
Many thanks

Hello Suesedgwick
Sponge cakes have an approximate shelf life of 5 days but it does really depend on what type of sponge it is.
An answer here may help http://www.cakeflix.com/questions/advance-baking
There are many other hints and tips throughout the site which may be useful references. You can see them if you type in the above search box ‘shelf life’ Not all will be relevant to sponge cake but still worth a peek at.
Many thanks madeitwithlove.
It’s very kind of you.
