Storing A Fondant Cake While Decorating!

Where should I store my cake on the fondant is laid, and after its decorated?
I worked on my cake for 2 days, and left it on the kitchen counter over night 2x, and it dried out and taking to crack. It didn't look as fresh and good anymore.
Help please!! I cannot put it in the fridge and the open air dries it out to a dull finish.
I decorate my cakes right before I give them to the person, they never sit in my kitchen for more than one night after being decorated.
I notice after the first night it was very dry and cracking....it was heartbreaking to see. Do you see any cracks the next day?
I think it may depend on the kind of fondant. I use MMF and the outer surface will dry a bit but the inside stays soft and it doesn't crack, even after a couple of days.
Deb, I am alittle worried that the plastic wrap or tin foil will leave impressions on the fondant. Do you just leave it loosely over the cake?

Yes, I don't wrap it tight just sort of make a tent over the cake without the wrap touching the surface of the cake.
Alrightly then..I will give that a try...wish me luck! 
I use MMF and have never gotten cracking, but I have used the Wilton kind and no cracking either. When you roll out your fondant are you using corn starch, powdered sugar, or crisco? I always use crisco because the others can dry it out.
