I have a fondant covered cake that I made for my Wilton class last week and I have a rehersal dinner tonight that I thought maybe I could bring it along as an "extra" (they are friends of ours). My question is, do you think the cake would still be good, or would it be stale by now. I don't want to chance it if it's going to be bad... I am leaving around noon (it's 10:25 here), so any quick advice some of you pros could give me would be much appreciated!!!
What kind of filling is in the cake. My cake has stayed good for a week when wrapped in fondant...the fondant and buttercream act like a seal and the cake stays moist, but if you put a filling in it like pudding then it may have seeped into the cake making it spongy...don't want to serve that...
I would not serve this cake due to the fact that the fondant is probably getting very hard by now. Besides, Wilton fondant tastes horrible. As for the cake has probably been kept fresh under the fondant, but I still would not take my chances.
If the cake is from a box mix, it would probably be somewhat ok, due to the preservatives in the mix, but if it is from scratch, I would "Scratch" the cake. 
It could possibly be "ok",. The question is...would you want anyone to think that this is the kind of cake you produce if it turns out to be not so good?
Let us know what you decide and how it turns out. I'd love to know if it would keep a week. Was it refrigerated?
I'd pull the fondant off and make a trifle out that!
Here's a real quick and easy one
In deep straight sided bowl:
Layer of cake cubes
Layer of pudding (fold in whipped cream or cool whip if you have it)
Layer of fruit preserves, or drained canned fruit, chopped.
Repeat layers ending with whipped cream.
Easy as can be and delicious!
Thanks so much you guys. I agree that the Wilton Fondant tast awful. I was planning on stripping it for people or telling them to strip it when they had a piece. I only used buttercream as filling when I torted, so I think I may take it with and give it a try. I made them a groom's cake as well, but my cream cheese icing (red velvet cake) was not cooperating, and I am not happy with how the cake turned out AT ALL, so I at least wanted to take this with as a "consolation" prize 
Needless to say, I should have practiced with this icing a little more before the big day, but it has been awful at our house the last week and a half (2 kids, both got sick and just got over it a few days ago). I will definitely be practicing more with this icing before I use it for public display again!
I would say no, for 2 reasons... it is WAY more than a week old, and you said your kids were sick... just not something I think would be good to serve. If it were made last Friday or Saturday maybe, but that is really pushing it IMHO...
