have you ever refrigerated your cake with SATIN ICE fondant SPECIFICALLY ? what was the outcome after removing from the fridge? (i had a gooey experience with mmf once and dont want to go through that with satin ice too) satin ice manufacturer says it can be refrigerated and other fondants say not too. i wonder the difference?
i have to refrigerate this filling.
I only use Satic Ice - I hate Wilton and since Satin Ice is so great, I haven't had the need or want to try another brand. I haven't refrigerated it per se, but it has sat in my car all day in the winter and I had no problem when bringing it indoors. This should be similar to refrigerating it. I did read on the Satin Ice website that it could be refrigerated before leaving in the car in the cold (winter in New England!). I would think that it would be fine.
Hope that helps!

I have only refrigerated one Satin Ice covered cake. It was premade red Satin Ice painted with Black Americolor scroll work. There was no gooeyness to the fondant...it remained firm. The only problem was with the black americolor that bled and smeared onto the saran wrap that the cake was wrapped in. I don't know if there would be any issues with color bleeding from the fondant or onto the fondant. Also, I don't what would happen if the cake was left out to thaw so to speak....we just cut a piece and put it back in the fridge.
Not sure if this was helpful at all....i have never refrigerated an mmf cake, so i have no basis for comparison. Sorry!!!
I made a five tier stacked cake last weekend and I placed the tiers in my garage since it was too much cake for my refrigerator (clean area, of course and away from everything - on a designated shelf I created for this purpose). Each tier was covered in Satin Ice. I placed several of the layers on a large board and covered each one in several layers of loose Saran wrap. In the winter, the garage area is far cooler than my refrigerator.
The cakes were fine the next morning and having tried the cake at the party, I can say it was delicious and very moist. The fondant was not soft or gooey nor did it have any condensation on it at any point.
I also made a brithday day cake for my husband the week prior and placed that in my refrigerator once it was covered and decorated and it was just fine as well. I'm not sure about other products as I have only used Satin Ice.
I've only used Satin Ice to make fondant accessories for my cakes and they've gone in and out of the fridge just fine. I don't recall anything being sticky but I never actually touched it once it came out of the fridge either.
An idea might be to do something small to place in the fridge to see how it comes out .

i've used this exclusively for awhile too, just never had to refrigerate it. before i posted this, i called satin ice to ask. i was told it was ok, and to wrap it in saran wrap then remove it right away when i take it out to thaw....yada yada, and to use a cool blow dryer to absorb the condensation. still...just want to know real results, you know?
i am taking this to a bridal shower of a good friend tomorrow and dont want it all messed up. it will be sitting out for a couple of hours there.
I refrdigerate all my cakes including those with Satin Ice.
I have to say the climate that you are will dictate the outcome. If it is late fall winter and spring here all my cakes come out matte.
If it is Summer and humid all my cakes will have a shine to them.
hi maryann, i was hoping you'd come to my rescue! 
that is good to know. i am in texas but it has been cold lately (below freezing). my indoor temp is about 72, and the party will be about the same. do you think it will be matte with these temps? thank you thank you thank you!!!!

If you have high humdity then your chances for shine are higher. If it does get shiny it should dry if there is a bit of humdity. But the texture will be fine! The last two cakes in my whimsical gallery were in the fridge and they are just fine! HTH!
not really, just down the road.
gosh, i feel like i am picking brains and feeling a little embarressed....
the plan is to do a small royal icing snail border at the base of the cake (so i can paint it as apposed to buttercream). since the cake is going into the fridge, should i wait to add it until after i remove it so the moisture doesnt attack it?
Are you traveling with it?? I never cover my fondant cakes either!
so , you are saying that you dont cover them in the fridge, right? it seems to me that the only reason for this would be to avoid picking up other food odors.
Well My hubby knows the fridge drill! In a container with lid in the drawer! I am OCD about it because of my eggs!
No I never cover them at all. I also have piped royal and put it inthe fridge!
Sorry I had to Run to Michaels! And soon Mall of America!
If the humdity is low there you should be OK. I knw your summers rae bad but the winter I tought was less humid.
it SEEMS dry, but this morning i had ice crystals all over my car, so i assume there is some moisture in the air.
so you dont have problems with putting your dry royal decorations (on the cake) in the fridge. i keep hearing different views. i would like to just get the cake done (and just what am i doing sitting on my butt on cc?)
Well it is flippin freezing and we have snow. yes snow is moistyre but I assure you it is quite dry. S dry we have to run a humidifier!
I believe you should be fine. I have had no trouble but now saying that it will certainly bite me in the butt!
These cakes are mine and they both have royal, gumpaste and Fondant--Choc transfer too!
All were completely assembled and in my fridge over night.

In fact the photos rae right out of the fridge!
HTH!!
A lot of people seem to comment about the humidity we experience here in Texas (which is weird, as much of Texas is quite arid), but we DO use air conditioning, which works by removing humidity from the air, so the humidity levels in our homes is usually not high.
This Texan refrigerates Satin Ice with no problems.
We have humid weater here ikn Australia and if any of my cakes look shiny I put them in the oven with the light only on. Stops the moisture. I have never felt the need to put a cake in the fridge but have left them in the oven with the light on over night. Its also good fro drying gumpast/molding paste pieces.
When I was in Houston the last couple of times I thought it was humid--Very humid!
Yes, Houston is on the Gulf Coast, and we do have high humidity here on most days. However, we do have air conditioning in our homes, our cars, and in all businesses, so our cakes for the most part are in low humidity situations.
The Gulf Coast comprises a VERY small part of Texas, so the rest of Texas doesn't really deal with the humidity that we have along the coast.
