I put my decorated cakes in the fridge all the time too - makes them more stable for transporting - never have had a problem! They stay great at a cool room temp for a few days, too. Good luck!

I was wondering about that. getting mixed reviews on if you can put a cake in the fridge. My first cake was a big leaning experience and the buttercream recipe I had used was too oily, so the fondant was sliding. once I got it all stable, I put it in the fridge overnight to try and stabilize it. worked fine. I was worried the cake would be dry, but it wasn't dry at all! in fact, family members were commenting on how moist it was.

I also live in a very dry climate, so we have little to no humidity. I wonder if that's one reason why condensation wasn't much of a issue.

I don't do enough cakes to justify the electricity used. I do have a small beer fridge of my sons, so if I really needed to put icing or something & needed the room, I could always plug it in & use it.

I envy you Gail.  I too have a small fridge in the shed that I use for overflow, but you really can't get that much in there.  I've told my hubby i want a huge American Fridge freezer in there, but I know I can go whistle for that lol!
