I am making a 12x18 sheet cake for a friend's daughter's b-day tomorrow. I wanted to make the cake today because I have not yet made one this big and I am putting a fbct on it and an edible image. If I make the whole cake today (including putting the edible picture on) will it be okay refrigerated until tomorrow?   |

Your cake will be fine. I have done this quite a few times, no problem. I would just wrap in very well in saran wrap to keep it from drying out. Good luck!  |

It will be fine!! Just make sure you seal the cake good with your icing.

Thanks charlieinMO! Next question...how do I cover with saran wrap and not mess up frosting. I am using a 1/2 inch thick wood board (covered of course) to hold cake on. |

Ok, I'm a dork!! I completely missed the part about putting the image on today! I WOULD NOT wrap in tightly in saran wrap! Sorry about that. Just like ashleymomx2 said, make sure you seal the cake with your icing! SOOO sorry about that!! |

I have left cakes boxed sitting overnight and they are perfectly fine. If you need to cover it an upside down laundry hamper or large box works great. |

The edible image will be fine if you keep the cake covered and refrigerated. I always refrigerate my edible image cakes in the warmer months cause left out at room temp overnight or longer and the images can become really shiny or even bubble. I put mine in a cake box and then cover the box with plastic wrap. |

My cake teacher told us that a completely iced cake will stay fresh for 3 days. Good luck! |

I never wrap my cakes after they are decorated. And I do not put them in the fridge either. If they are sealed well with icing, they will last just fine. |

I don't wrap or refridge my cakes either. Once the cake is covered in icing, the cake is sealed and stays fresh. I do cover the whole cake with a large box or something just to keep anything from getting on it. Besides that its a big "CAKE CAUTION" to others in the house. I have never had a problem with doing it this way |
