I am planning to make vanilla icing and one of the ingredients is lemon juice, which needs to be refridgerated. I saw online (no idea if it's correct) that milk in a hardened icing becomes stabilized and doesn't need refridgeration. Does the same work for lemon juice? I would love not to have to refridgerate the cake. I also always wonder about amaretto cake that has orange juice in the glaze-I end up refridgerating it. I would really appreciate an answer, especially with a source! Thanks!

Though unless your AC is excellent (mine isn’t) I refrigerate all cakes this time of year.

Refrigerating is really bad for cakes, cookies, breads, etc because it dehydrates them. Better to freeze and pull out 20-30 mins before u want to use.

I’d rather a dry cake then a moldy one! (I know! I’ve had both) and unfortunately freezer space is at a premium

Thank you for all the advice, but does anyone have a definitive answer, or maybe a place to look it up? I understand it's really hot, so depending on the weather, I sometimes freeze my bread and I would then also freeze cake, but how about in general? Thanks!

It definitely does not need refrigeration.

The only bakery item I refrigerate is wraps/flour tortillas. Oh and cheese cakes/danishes.

You're right fruit cake should be refrigerated. I don't usually make those. I do make crisps that are mostly fruit and they definitely need to be refrigerated.
My lemon cake does not get refrigerated. It has lemon juice and is not a fruit cake.

I thought icing preserves the cake indefinitely. Isn't there a non Jewish custom that pre dates refrigerators and freezers that a layer of wedding cake is seved at the first baby's christening party?

I decided to make the glaze without lemon juice, just oil, vanilla, confectionary sugar-all non perishable-because I'm still confused, but thanks for all the advice!
