Usually if I bake and ice a cake and/or cupcakes at night for delivery in the morning, I will refrigerate. Can that same cake be boxed and held at room temp without problems (such as spoilage) overnight instead? This question is for a standard scratch butter cake with shortening based icing without dairy.

My refrig only has so much room but I have lots of counter space. Just wanted to know if I could use it for cakes delivered in the morning to free space for cakes delivered much later.

I have kept cakes out overnight. I kept my indoor temperature around 68 - 70 degrees.

I agree. It would depend on which filling you used.

Yep! If your cake's filling doesn't need to be kept in the fridge, your cake will be find on the counter. I have NEVER put a cake in the fridge and they all have tasted wonderful!

Refrigerating cake tends to dry it out. It's a humidity thing. Unless your cake has a filling that as to be refrigerated, there is NO reason to refrigerate it.
