AEveryone seems to be from America. Is there any Aussies here? If so, message me so we can chat :)
i don't mean any offend to Americans, its just that our food laws, cake prices etc are different and would like to chat to them about it.
Another Aussie , checking in. There are quite a few of us on here. Just ask a mudcake question and we all seem to pop up. 
AI'm in mount gambier. Lonely little mount gambier haha!
AI'm in Sydney too :) Just bake as a hobby though.
AAussie fellow bakers can I ask your advice please. My fondant covered cakes are not doing well in the humidity at all and I the minute I put them in a box with the lid on they start to sweat. I'm tempted to put the one I have sitting on my kitchen counter right now in the fridge overnight. Any of you in Sydney succesfully able to store your fondant cakes in the fridge without ruining the final finish?

Chellescakes lol thats so true
Kegs302 - I agree with Bluehue try the fan. Also some fondants are easier for me to use in our climate than others but that may just be me.

Thank you, I didn't put it in the fridge but I did put the lid on as I wanted to keep bugs off it. It was ok but one of the hands fell off one of my figures. How do you go a out stopping bugs from getting at your cakes leaving them sat out?

I need your help guys and girls!
HELP!!!! I am in panic mode. I can't follow my original idea for the wedding cake due tomorrow as I couldn't find the ribbon I needed and the only size ribbon they had in the craft store which I bought is a hideous red colour (the bride is wearing bright red so was going to tie the ribbon in with her outfit but its horrible!). Anyway I now have a cake, covered in white chocolate ganache and a bucket of white fondant. What can I do in the next 12 hours (it's due to be delivered at 11am tomorrow). To make this look like a bloody wedding cake? Any idea's?
It's my first ever wedding cake and its for a friend who gave me a blank canvas so no expectations from the wedding party, but I want to impress and I'm now officially scared!!!
Hello bakers,
I am probably the most inexperienced one of all. This is the first time i have ever used a forum. So i may be a little slow. Sorry!
I'm from Sydney Australia. I am a home baker also, and am happy to find fellow Australians to chat to.
I was reading your comments on fondant covered cakes.
I once thought it was a no, no to place a fondant covered cake in the fridge. But as someone who knew a lot more than
me explained.
Cakes covered with fondant my be placed in the fridge, as long as they are in a cake box. The cake must be completely
covered. (if i can't close the box due to the cake being to large or 3D. I place butchers paper in front of the open area).
On the day of delivery or pick-up. All that is required is to take the cake out of the fridge at least 3 hours prior.
It will sweat initially. But once the cake/fondant has reached room temp. The sweating will subside.
Since i was given this advise i have utilized it. To date it has worked a dream.
I hope this may help in some way for you.
Thanks fab idea!!!!!!

Yes, many do but if it is a mud cake I have made and decorated I never put one in the fridge.... I will freeze a mud cake for a short time before filling and decorating - but I believe it alters the flavour and texture of a mud cake if put in a fridge...just my opinion....
Look forward to seeing you around on the forum

I hope this may help in some way for you.
