I am making a WASC cake with fresh strawberries mixed with strawberry glaze as filling (it tastes like strawberry shortcake ...YUMMM).
I am covering the cake with fondant (Satin Ice) and I really don't want to refrigerate my fondant. This is a four tier cake with details and I have to start decorating it the night before the event. My question is, will the strawberries go bad if I leave the decorated cake sit out overnight? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I just did a 3 tier this weekend with fresh strawberries and glaze, but I used marsh mellow fondant. I did let mine sit overnight, however I kept the temperature in my kitchen cool and the cake was fine. The guest at the reception loved it! It didn't go bad at all. hope this helps...

It would be fine to refrigerate them. By the time you get them where you need them to be, they will be a good temperature and the fondant won't be hard to cut at all (it that is what you are worried about). Refigerated cakes are always easier to work with. I pop my satin ice covered cakes in the frige all the time without any problems. BUT, I guess if you wanna leave them out for whatever reason, just overnight it won't ruin the cake but berries need to be kept cool for them to be at their best (IMHO).

I'm glad you guys mentioned that you could refrigerate fondant. Thanks!!!I wasn't sure of that either, that's why I left mine out overnight. Could you also do that with MMF?
