Can anyone tell me how long a cake will stay fresh? It's iced with buttercream and has Fondant on it. I don't want to freeze it.
Thanks.

You can't put a iced cake with fondant in the frig or freezer. The fondant will break down.

Normally a cake wrapped with saran wrap & tinfoil OR in a cake storer will stay fresh for 7 days.

I thought I read somewhere here...though I havent found it again, that as long as you put it in an airtight container you're fine.... but I do know you dont want to put the cake with fondant in the fridge..

You definitely don't want to put it in the refrigerator or the freezer (I think we have developed an echo, echo, echo...here). I have just posted in the last few days that my cake with bc icing and covered with MMF, stored in a rubbermaid cake carrier, is getting soggy after 6 days. Still edible, but the fondant is soggy and soaking into the cake.

just let it sit out with no covering... the most that will happen is the fondant may taste a itty bitty bit stale but i highly doubt it... it creates a seal for the bc and the cake and it stays really moist inside... i have a 4 tier practice cake sitting on my kitchen table since saturday (now monday) and i don't plan on even cutting one piece till about wednesday to see how it held up... i'll wait till thursday for another one then... i want to see how far ahead i can have my wedding cake made and ready to go before the wedding so i have less to do the closer to the date
