Can I Leave My Fondant-Covered Cake Overnight?
Decorating By kdbobo Updated 12 Jan 2007 , 4:37am by cakesondemand
Hi everyone:
So I just came back from my Course 3 class. I hate my package cake. I thought it looked awfully sloppy. I pulled off the fondant ribbons and bow and think I'd like to try doing something else with the fondant-covered cake, since I obviously won't be taking it in to work tomorrow as planned 
. Can I leave the cake till tomorrow night or Saturday and still decorate it--or will the fondant then be too hard to add anything to it?
Many thanks.
you know what - take it in to work! I did some cakes that I absolutely was embarrassed over and didn't know what to do with them. Took them in to work and everyone appreciated the thought.
Then when you take an absolute favorite (your chocolate cake in your photos for example 
) they will know it wasn't your best work!
I would take the bow and ribbons off your cake, (whoops, you already did) and leave it overnight. Saturday would be stretching it in my opinion as far as your cake being as fresh as you'd like.
aww, thanks mjs4492! I was thinking I probably won't take it in because it is already 10:15 and I am much too tired after a long day and three hours of cake class to go about redesigning and fiddling with the cake anymore right now. I hate to have so much cake go to waste--there's no way I can eat it all--but I figured that if the fondant will hold up till tomorrow evening I can play around with it then.
I was really looking forward to sharing it too. New recipes all from scratch and everything! Oh well.
and share with a friend on Saturday 
You can keep a fondant covered cake out for at least 3 days it locks in the moisture and the fondant won't harden unless you have gumtex in it.
