How To Store A Fondant Cake Overnight???
Decorating By MakeItYours Updated 14 Oct 2005 , 7:33pm by Daniela
I am making my first mmf cake that is for my fathers b-day on Saturday and I plan to decorate on Friday. From what I have read, you cannot refridgerate fondant, but I was planning on using a chocolate pudding filling. So I guess my question really is, what type of fillings do you usually use in your cakes when you cannot refridgerate them??? I will be making a chocolate cake. Please give me some suggestions, time is running out! I am desperate!! 
You can use a chocolate ganache. It can sit out about two days. Or you can melt chocolate and it to your BC to make a yummy filling. I usually use store bought pasrty filling that doesn't have to be refrigerated.
FYI, I have refrigerated fondant cakes with no problems. Of course, my experience is limited to 6-ish fondant cakes.
Definitely at least 2 days, perhaps 3 in the refrigerator. I would think you're oK with overnight. I don't cover it in the refrigerator or anything, just put it in on a top shelf so nothing can spill on it.
Does that apply to MMF also?? Thank you so much for your suggestions. I wanted to try chocolate ganache. Any good recipe's for it???
Yes, MMF and regular fondant. I only use MMF now, but I did use regular and didn't have a problem. I hope I'm not steering you wrong though. Like I said, my experience is a bit limited. Good luck though.
The main problem with fondant is humidity which is why a fridge isn't a good idea. Too much moisture can cause fondant to collapse. I normally recomend keeping fondant covered cakes in a cardboard box in a dry place. The temperature doesn't actually matter.
I have put mine in the Fridge......alll three doras cakes sat in there for about a day 1/2. they were fine... I think that it the humidity also ..maybe I just get lucky...but if If your in doubt...try to find a alternate frosting choice....
like CakesByEllen I also store all my cakes in the fridge, allways overnight and sometimes for 2-3 days. Never had any troubles, just store it in a cardboard box and never ever cover with saran or things like that or in an airtight container
