I am in the process of making a chocolate cake with a caramel filling for tomorrow. I mixed the buttercream and a caramel sundae topping in order to make it. By mistake I put the caramel filling in the fridge. The cake will need to be out on the counter for some time (overnight and then the customer is picking up tommorow). The filling is roughly 3/4 buttercream to 1/4 caramel topping. The cake itself will be iced in plain buttercream. Will this pose a problem (since the caramel would normally be refrigerated once opened)? Do I need to find an alternative to the caramel? I only have a few hours remaining to work on baking, frosting and decorating the cake? Any replies are appreciated.

It should be fine. You will want to check to be sure the cold filling doesn't get too firm to use.

I think it will be ok to leave out.

I've done a caramel filling but I used Caramel Creamer and I've also use Caramel Flavor ( you know the kind that is used for Coffee Drinks or Italian Sodas.) I really liked how the flavoring turned out.
