I am making a cake for tomorrow and will be using an IMBC recipe for the first time. Should I put the decorated cake in the fridge until tomorrow? I will be using some chocolate transfers on the cake - will the decorations sweat when I take the cake out? Should I just leave it out until tomorrow and refrigerate the leftovers?
TIA for your help.
You should refrigerate the cake overnight but take it out well before serving since the IMBC gets hard like butter in the refrigerator.
Not sure about the chocolate transfers. I think they would be okay but hopefully someone will know for sure.
For your future reference, here's a thread with a frosting/filling safe storage chart:

can you double this recipe (imbc)? to make a big cake
I don't know which recipe you are using, but the egg whites have to whip up very full. I don't think there would be room in MY mixer for more than 1 batch at a time.
My imbc makes 12 cups of icing, and it fills my Pro 6 KA to almost overflowing. It's a lot of icing. What size cake are you making?
I've cut it in half, but I've never doubled a 6-cup smaller recipe that I use.
And yes, refridgerate it, but let it come to room temp before serving, for best taste and texture.
