I need to make a cake with fresh fruit. But i am gonna cover the cake with fondant. But fondant does not due well int he fridge. What do i do? I always put fresh fruit cakes in the fridge. I am stumped can someone help plz.

I worked for a bakery in Chicago and they had us refridgerate all of the wedding cakes. We never had a problem with the fondant. They would sweat some, but it didn't hurt anything. Hope this helps.

There was a thread on here, just last week I think, about fondant in the fridge. From what I can remember - the arguments centered on 1) It depends on what type of fondant you use and 2) what kind of fridge you use.
If you already know that your fondant doesn't do well in your fridge - I'd be afraid to chance it. I'll see if I can find the thread before someone else does...

OK, I'm sorry - I don't understand how to make it a clickable link.
And I saw that you didn't say your fondant doesn't do well in the fridge - so maybe you could do a little test.


OR - some one who knows more and is less scatterbrained than I will help!

Ok thank you so much. I use fondex. Has anyone used this brand and put in the fridge?
