Hi!! 

This weekend i have anbunch of cakes due and due and I think this is the most I have taken on so of course I am second guessing myself! 

I have a question about 3 of them ... 

1. Cake due on Friday (will be eaten on Friday) 

2. Cake due on Friday (will be eaten on Saturday)

3. Cake due on Saturday am (eaten on Saturday)

This time I used a “box” cake mix and were all baked on Monday and have been in freezer. Would it be ok to stack and fill (just Vanilla buttercream) tomorrow, Wednesday so I have enough time to decorate the following days? Each is pretty extensive detail work(fondant) and did all I could do ahead of time but most needs to be done when the cake is ready! 

Thanks so so much I’m advance!!

For me, I do not see an issue at all with your plans.  Typically I fill, stack, and cover with icing 2 days before a cake is due.  Then the day before it is due I decorate.  Then the day it is due I make any final adjustments if necessary.  You definitely don't want to cut yourself short on time...it is never fun working under stress/pressure of the clock.  And if it makes you feel any better I just threw away the last slice of a doctored box cake mix cake that had been sitting out in a cake carrier for about a week and a half.  The only reason why I threw it away and didn't eat it was not because it was stale (in fact it was perfectly fine) but because if I ate one more slice of cake I thought I may turn into a piece of cake :)  So if your main concern is stale/spoiled cake that shouldn't be an issue.

yes you should be fine
