How Do I Keep My Fondant From Getting Hard?
Decorating By MariaLovesCakes Updated 23 Jul 2007 , 1:16pm by MariaLovesCakes
I usually make my fondant (Wilton recipe) and once I cover the cake, I leave it in a box loosely covered. It gets hard, not rock hard, but not like some other fondant I have tasted... (don't know which kind though).
Where do you all keep yours once you decorate your cake? Do you place somewhere airtight and then assemble just before the event?
Thank you.

For nonperishable fillings I box the cake and leave it on the table.
If your fondant is getting hard when placed on the cake experiment with working some shortening into it before covering your cake.
Thank you for the replies!
I don't mind the Wilton fondant that much since I only do as a hobby and for family and friends and people don't eat it anyway. 
I enhance the taste some adding almond extract to it.
This time I will do the Marshmallow fondant. More tastier and cheaper to make.
