You can. The only thing that happens when you take it out is condensation but just don't touch the thing till it's dry and it'll be fine.

You can refrigerate it. Just use an electric fan for about a couple of hours to get rid of condensation. HTH.

I've never even had much problems with condensation at all, I guess as long as its kept in a/c its usually fine. I always refrigerate all my cakes so they transport better.

The only time I have had problems with fondant and cold is when I put fondant over frozen buttercream ( oh don't even ask about the results)

I put fondant in the fridge all the time, it helps the cake, icing, and fondant firm up for transportation. Works well.

I have actually frozen cakes that are covered in fondant, just let them thaw 1 day in the fridge before you take it out. It's yummy!!!!!!

Yep, I always refrigerate my fondant covered cakes. Heat and humidity may make them sweat but it evaporates in a couple of hours.

I only put fondant cakes in the fridge if it is really hot where they are sitting out. They might sweat a little, but so far, no other problems.

I would think it would melt anyways, the fridge having nothing to do with it. I had some fondant decorations melt on cupcakes because of heat/humidity and they were never in the fridge.

I would say that they don't need to be in the fridge as long as the house is semi cool - like room temp - then its fine.[/quote]
