when you spill butter cake batter on your new engine block, how long can the batter be considered to be still edible?

The block has been hot tanked.

thanks.

Yes, and no. Wife's making a butter cake and I scored the beaters.

Had you sprayed the top of the block with WD-40?
That'll be good for an extra few seconds - lowers the water activity and prevents microbes from growing as quickly, if at all.

It was oily, but ok.

The shed adjoins the garage as it happens. I get to sample the goings on in the kitchen.

I meant to say the kitchen adjoins the garage (or vice versa depending on one's perspective.)

I would like to think that the kitchen scales are in fact the garage scales, loaned to the kitchen for useful evolutions such as cake making.

Its yet to get some jelly in the middle, and a few sea critters to make it a little more awesome. But it's for my boy, he just turned 5 :)
