Can you cover a cold cake with fondant? Does anyone successfully cover a cake straight from the fridge with fondant all the time? I have read a few places that some people go ahead and cover cakes with fondant straight out of the fridge and I was wondering if anyone has any tips/advice on doing this.
thanks for your help!

I do it each and every time and have never had a blowout or any other such problem. I keep my cakes cold through the entire process from torting to finishing. No real tips or techniques... I don't do anything special or different--they're just cold!
its not really advisable, because due to the cake coming up to temperature, you could end up with big air bubbles under your fondant. a lot seems to depend on your areas weather and humidity, and how good your fridge is.

I double posted this in another forum - I couldn't find this original and wasn't getting notifications....strange..... sorry about that!
Thanks for the help as always
I don't because the condensation when bringing up to room temp. It's too hard to work with, too tacky and sticky. I bring cakes to room temp before covering.
Many decorators, including Toba Garrett, do recommend covering a cold cake.
I always cover my cakes right out of the fridge. Doesn't cause me blowouts or even minor bubbles. I never get condensation or stickiness either.
Thanks guys- I went ahead and covered it right out of the fridge and I had no problems.....I too stuck it back in the fridge overnight b/c someone is picking it up and traveling a few hours with it and I wanted to make sure it was stable....so far so good! We'll see if it makes it there in one piece!
I cover cold cake all the time. I do not however put them back in the fridge after they are covered.
