I don't think you can refrigerate MMF with much success. It tends to get wet and sticky, from my experience anyway.

Let me start by saying I am new at using fondant and I have never tried it. BUT I have read where a lot of people DO refrigerate fondant. They say that it does sweat, but it you dont touch it and let it evaporate that it is fine.

I have made MMF and put it in the frig. When you take it out, it will "sweat" a little, but if you leave it alone, it will be fine - my experience anyway.

I cann't see why not I froze one for 1 hour then wrapped it in plastic then in foil. when I took it out I left it wrapped till it thawed. It was my first mmf cake so I did not know that most people had not done this. It turned out great.

I ALWAYS put my mmf cakes in the fridge. NEVER had a problem with it. The cake will sweat a little bit but won't hurt it.

there is NO PROBLEM with putting MMF in the fridge..it gets hard...when u take it out, it condenses a little, and then it's back to normal...

just dont touch it for a while

You can refridgerate it but DO NOT touch the cake when it is sweating. It will dry on it's own and be fine.

I'm sorry, icon_redface.gif I didn't see the part that says it's on the cake..
definitely you refrigerate it.. if it's just fondant alone, then you don't need to.

Unless you have a filling that requires refridgeration,you don't need to refridgerate a fondant covered cake. It's preferable not to.

I have refridgerated mmf, but ONLY on a cake. I have the best results when I LOOSELY cover the cake so air still circulates around it-just lay seran wrap over it loosely. If I seel in the whole cake then i have had some problems, not much, but it didn't look as good as i wanted it too.

Will condensation hurt the coloring on MMF? I painted with food color on the cake, am I still able to refridgerate it?
