I'm guessing I need to throw these out but wanted to check first in case I can save…

Old Style Remedies
I've just been thinking following DD being stung by a bee! Are there any old style tricks to treating them - I didn't have to the remove the sting as it wasn't in there.

How to store cake??
I've decided to try my hand at baking, and am about to make a lemon drizzle cake. This might be a daft question, but as the filling contains mascarpone, does this mean I will have to store the cake in the fridge? Will that make the sponge go funny? :confused:
