I always put fondant on my cakes when they are cold. This gives my a firmer surface to work with.

Great Post!! Something I've also been wondering.

MillyCakes: Interesting! What about condensation when the cake comes back to room temp under the fondant? Any problems there?

A chilled cakes makes covering with fondant a lot easier. The fondant will feel cool to the touch and would sometimes get a little condensation (depending on how long you chill) on the surface. Just let it air out and the condensation will be gone.
