I know it seems like a dumb question but this is my second time doing a cake with fondant. I just want to keep it cool until tomorrow afternoon, any suggestions or tips?
well, i've read that you can and can't refridge fondant. so years ago, i tried myself. i did a wedding cake - 3 tiers - covered in fondant and put in fridge overnight. after i took the cake out to decorate, it started getting shiny and gummy after the condensation took over. peeled everything off and started over.
so, i haven't tried it since. others might know a trick or two.
I just leave my fondant covered cakes on the counter, covered with a box. If you refrigerate most likely condensation will form on the fondant when you take it out and that might ruin the smooth look of the fondant. Have a good night!
So then you are limited to the filling if you can not put it in the refridgerator right?
I always refridgerate my fondant cakes and have never had a problem. That might be because I live in Arizona so I never have the condensation issue. I have two in the 'fridge right now for delivery tomorrow. I just did a trial with airbrushing too as I was afraid the colors would run if left in there overnight, but still no problems. I think humidity is what ruins cakes...thankfully we don't have that problem here too often here!

Thanks everyone for your replies, I have decided not to put it in the fridge as I am too paranoid. I will post pictures later for anyone interested, thanks again everyone!
