What about cakes with frosting?
That’s the one Karla and I disagree with each other about. She always refrigerates cakes and I think it ruins them…

For bacon grease we've had one of these, as do most people I know...

No frig.
If it's too big to polish off in a few days, we'll cut individual slices and freeze them.

I don’t mind leaving it out for 2-3 days, covered.

bacon grease
So, what do you use your bacon grease for?
Be still my heart!
To prep my iron skillet for cornbread. Sometimes the same for biscuits. Not as much as I used to ( not heart healthy). Use a smidgen in green beans, field peas or butter beans for taste. It's also a necessary ingredient for fried apples as at Crackerbarrel.

The bigger question is how you keep your bacon grease....
Mason jar.

If you're freezing bread, double bag it. Use a twist tie for each bag. It will stay much fresher and not pick up any freezer scent from other foods.
King Arthur Flour has good bread bags of various sizes. I keep them on hand all the time. When baking a batch of 14 to 20 loaves, this works very well.
I need to get another batch of sourdough done again. Maybe this coming week.

It depends on the cake and frosting, but on the whole I agree with you.
