Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I am wondering if you can put fondant in the refrigerator?  some sites say its ok, others no?  Especially if you have a lot of decorating to do on a cake.

Kelly - I put my fondant-covered cakes in the refrigerator all the time without problem.  I use homemade marshmallow fondant, though, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.  It has fewer ingredients than some other fondants.  It WILL get soft if you leave it in the fridge in a sealed container, though.  I recommend putting the cake in a cardboard box to absorb moisture.

If you just put it in once, for a short time,  then let come to room temp with a dust free fan on it, it seems to be ok.

It is the in and out, in and out (you may have to do this if the filling is at high risk for spoilage) that seems to wear on the texture and colors.

I really strongly advise my people to go with an all shortening or ganache icing if we are covering in fondant.

The sleeve fillings are a good choice, also for fondant projects, no need to keep cold.
