So I have a cake in a few weeks, but I am concerned that I am leaving Wednesday before it's due. I have arranged for delivery, but am concerned if the fondant cake will hold if I complete it Tuesday night and it will stay in a empty fridge that will not be opened till Sunday.

My second question is how would you recommend wrapping it?

I haven't committed to making the cake as of yet.

Thanks in advance for your help.

When are you actually baking the cake?

If you baked and completed the cake on Tuesday, your cake would already be 5 days old. If you baked before Tuesday you are putting it closer to a week old. Personally if I was buying a cake, I wouldn't want it to be almost a week old because then you really can't have left overs and eat them. (I don't like cake after the 5 day mark.)

If you could freeze it between the time frame then that could be a different story.

I'd probably pass on it though. I wouldn't want to be trying to pack and trying to get a cake done knowing I'll start my vacation off stressed.

I think you need to pass on that order.

I agree, pass on the order.

That was my same decision, but i was hoping for some other way.

Thank you all for reading and for the replies.
