I have a cake that is needed tomorrow and i covered the cakes today with my mm fondant. The thing is, my house is soooo hot that the fondant on the cake is starting to warm on one of the cakes and become droopy. Is it safe to put mm fondant cake in the fridge??? It is the only thing that i can think of to help! and also, if i cant, what should i do to help save the cake? Honeslty, the front that will show is fine and doesnt look harmed, but the back is a little droopy and i feel like i shouldnt be selling a cake that way..
your MM fondant will become very sticky if you put it in the fridge. Not sure what you can do to fix it - do you have an air conditioned room in your home? Is there any way you can work into your design a new design panel for the back and remove the droopy one? Sorry for your frustration!
Yup...I had this happen last summer to me and putting it into the fridge did help. Remember that when you do take it out of the fridge you will get some condensation so it may be a bit shiny but that will evaporate.
Two questions tho...did you let the cake settle for at least 2 hours before covering it with fondant? If not then you might want to remove the fondant, let the cake settle on the counter in a cooler room for a few hours and then cover it with the fondant. The other question is...do you not have A/C or at least a fan to sit in front of with the cake? It is very very hard to work on any cake with the summer heat so I feel for you. The time I went thru this last summer we lost our A/C all of a sudden and it was just too hot! UGH!
Good luck!
