What sort of elements are you doing? If they something you can prepare ahead of time and then simply attach the night before with royal icing or something you might be able to hold off on the actual cake assembly. I don't imagine a fondant covered cake would freeze well at all.

If you could explain in a little more detail what you plan on putting on the cake, maybe I and others could offer you more ideas? :0)

I would not freeze a fondant covered cake. When I am doing large wedding cakes I bake 3 days in advance. The fondant holds in the moisture and it works a a barrier to keep the cake from drying out. Just keep it in a very cool room. I always make all the details up to a couple weeks in advance that way it makes the day of the cake fun!

Thank you, Jeri! I knew there was a logical way to do this...and you're so right: the day of the cake SHOULD be fun! I just wasn't sure how long I could store the fondant/cake in the fridge and still have it in good shape for the big day. Thanks for your help.
