Help! I need unthaw my cakes covered in fondant. Do i leave the wrapping on the cakes or do i leave them on? Does leaving them on prevent "sweating" Or will leaving the wrapping make it stick to the cake?

Thanks!

Take off whatever wrapping is touching the fondant. Place the cake inside a box and let it thaw. Resist the urge to touch the condensation that will form on the outside. It WILL evaporate!

revel:
so glad you asked this!! Did you have your fondant-covered cakes in the refrigerator or freezer? I thought fondant wasn't supposed to be put in the freezer?

LOL..yikes! icon_surprised.gif I put them in the freezer! My instructor said it was ok to put them in there.
I just forgot to ask about thawing them. I guess i'll see what happens. icon_cry.gif

I put a post up before asking if you could freeze fondant decorated cakes... and I got quite a few answers that said that they freeze fine you just have to thaw them slowly in the fridge! icon_biggrin.gif I am going to try this for a wedding cake, so I hope it workds! icon_lol.gif I think it should though as long as we do what Diane said and just leave it alone and let it do it's thing. icon_biggrin.gif
