I am making a cake for my son's first birthday, and I am soooo new to this sort of thing. I am making a chocolate cake and wanted to fill it with whipped ganache... I am also using MM fondant to cover the cake. I have a couple of questions.

1) Do I need to refrigerate the cake because of the ganache filling? If it is whipped will it re-melt and ooze out of the cake if it is warm?

2) My power is going to be out from 6:30am-12:00pm and everyone will be here at 12:30 so I would need to assemble the cake in the early in the morning. should I do the mm fondant after taking out of the fridge??

I don't know if I am making any sense, but any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Welcome to CC.

I have no idea on how to help. I decided against the whiped ganache for my cake that I am doing because I did not have the answers. I am giving you a bump to see if we can get the answer.

Wow, sounds like you have your hands full. If you go ahead and make the cake, I think I would be sure and make a dam before adding the filling just to help reduce the chance of it oozing. Just my guess. Good Luck

Cover with the fondant the night before your party, not the morning of it. Fondant covered cakes can easily last for several days.

Whipped ganache will not remelt or ooze out of your cake, you can cover the cake with fondant when you take the cake out of the fridge or the night before.
