Refrigerated Filling In A Fondant Covered Cake
Decorating By m1m Updated 14 Jun 2007 , 11:20am by Tartacadabra
I'm making a cake for my husband for Father's Day; I'd like to use a chocolate mousse filling. Due to the filling, the cake will need to be refrigerated.
I plan on covering the cake with fondant. My Wilton instructor said cakes with fondant can be refrigerated, but need to sit out for a few hours to reabsorb the condensation from the fridge. Would it be better to use buttercream icing as a filling since it needs no refrigeration?
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences you have had with this ; sorry if this topic has already come up. 
...sometimes the fondant can 'sweat'....I have never had that problem but I know people who have.
I really think it depends on where ya live....high hunidity or dry climate.
I refrigerate all my fondant covered cakes.
If its only gonna be for one day or night, the cake will be fine without refrigeration.
I was just going to start a thread about this when I saw this thread. I was told not to refrigerate fondant cakes so I was wondering what you could put inside of them besides jam and buttercream? If you can put them in the fridge overnight what do you do about condensation and/or possible fondant blow outs?
you can usually frigerate fondant covered cakes but you do need the time for the "sweat beads" to disappear on their own.
NOT all of the cakes do this but i don't recommend having it in for a long period of time.
If your cake happens to sweat, LEAVE it alone.
let it disappear on its own after time.
hopefully i was a tincy bit of help.
i've had a disaster of being impatient & tried to dab off the beads, & ruined my cake :[

Hi, I have to say that I most of the time put my fondant cakes in the fridge.
What helps is putting them in a cardboard cakebox ( I always do that!!), that absorbs the condense, you could also put cubes of sugar next to it, that also absorbes the water.
Normally my cake just comes out fine, only with really warm weather the difference between the fridge and outside can be a big shock and can make it sweat... then just leave it there or put a fan next to it, then it will disappear really fast (the last one I had to try because the cake would be picked up in half an hour.... oopsss and it looked terribly wet 
) but turned out okay
Besides only one day (or night) in the fridge won't do any harm I think!!
