Well there ewe have it.......disgusting !!.....i think it received a little water damage as some of it was very saturated......still sweet but the texture of the cake sponge was all soft. Probably a preparation error from 2011.


Edible.....but not agreeable...... I am not in hospital and no stomach pump required........which is nice !!  ;D

But it seems to have turned you into a sheep.

The experiment has been conducted under better controlled conditions. Captain Scott's stores have been found, including tinned puddings nearly 100 years old and perfectly edible.

Wasn't the honey that was sealed in the pyramids with the pharoahs deemed to still be edible?

Quite likely. Honey has been used as a preservative and even an antibiotic dressing in many cultures.

Well, yes it has.
But it's not guaranteed...

Maybe you can take a decision
1. after looking at the texture (If it looks normal then fine)
2. Smell (do you smell anything odd?)
3. Do you find any mouldy or any unwated growth on the cake?
4. Was it defrosted once or twice or many times? (If not defrosted then fine.)
5. Was the fridge opened for many times.

Sponge cake, whether fresh or 10years old is NOT suitable food for a sheep. By the way, when did neilep cease to be human and become a sheep? I'm sure trawling through old posts would tell me but I don't have the necessary motivation.
