Where should I store my cake on the fondant is laid, and after its decorated?

I worked on my cake for 2 days, and left it on the kitchen counter over night 2x, and it dried out and taking to crack. It didn't look as fresh and good anymore.

Help please!! I cannot put it in the fridge and the open air dries it out to a dull finish.

I decorate my cakes right before I give them to the person, they never sit in my kitchen for more than one night after being decorated.

I notice after the first night it was very dry and cracking....it was heartbreaking to see. Do you see any cracks the next day?

Be sure to cover the cake with either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The air will definitely dry out the fondant if left out for 2 nights.

I think it may depend on the kind of fondant. I use MMF and the outer surface will dry a bit but the inside stays soft and it doesn't crack, even after a couple of days.

Deb, I am alittle worried that the plastic wrap or tin foil will leave impressions on the fondant. Do you just leave it loosely over the cake?

Alrightly then..I will give that a try...wish me luck!

I use MMF and have never gotten cracking, but I have used the Wilton kind and no cracking either. When you roll out your fondant are you using corn starch, powdered sugar, or crisco? I always use crisco because the others can dry it out.
