Delighted to be asked to conduct a hygiene at the Cake& Delicacy Show.
The workshop focused on hygienic habits to prevent contamination. So important for everyone to understand especially home bakers and pastry arthritis as there is nothing worse than cutting into a cake and finding a hair! Especially if the cake is for a special occasion!
Lots of amazing cakes and sugar flowers in the competition.Very pleased I am not a judge!😅

Rice!
Did you know that rice left at room temperature for extended periods can produce a food poisoning pathogen called bacillus cereus which can make you sick, especially if you have a low immune system.
Plus, even if you reheat it again the rice will not be safe to eat!
The best way of preventing issues is to cook and eat rice immediately. Or you must cool it quickly (but don't cool it by putting it in a fridge or a freezer), use an ice bath.
