I have tiers in my freezer...(I work full time so I've been having to do my niece's baby shower cake in sessions)...so far, these tiers have been split, filled and crumb coated.
If I plan on covering with fondant, can I use IMBC successfully?
Do I need to completely thaw the crumb coated tiers before icing with IMBC?

Can a fondant covered tiered be successfully frozen, thawed and either painted or accented with fondant pieces?
Some say not to cover a frozen cake with fondant because as it thaws the condensation comes out on top of the fondant.I am covering a cake Friday in fondant and it is just in a cold fridge with a crumbcoat.
You don't want to cover a frozen cake with fondant because the cake will collect condensation on the outside while it is thawing and your fondant will get wet and sticky.
Someone else might know a way around that, but I covered a cake to soon (got impatient) that had just been in the refrigerator and I had problems.
The cake needs to come to room temperature.
Okay, I will have to thaw them before covering with fondant.
What about the IMBC? Can it be successfully covered with fondant if it's iced with that?
I've got to drive 5 hours home with this baby shower cake. I would puke if the fondant did a slippety slide and wound up on the cake board. I know it would be okay if I used crusting buttercream. I would really like to use IMBC though.
If it is unstable for fondant, can it be airbrushed successfully?
I have covered IMBC with fondant, just keep the layer of icing to no more then a crumb coat and you shouldn't have a problem. The only thing that would concern me is the 5 hour drive. I don't think i would want the IMBC out of the fridge for that long.
