re: Cakes in the fridge

Magda do you perhaps freeze your cakes before covering with fondant? I find freezing cakes leads to the fondant weeping/melting a lot.

I chill my fondant cakes before covering with fondant. I usually cover my cakes few hours before pick up and I don’t need to put them in the fridge, but when I have perishable cake filling or I do make the cake many hours in advance I do refrigerate them. To minimise the fondant sweating I cover the cakes with Firm/cling wrap and refrigerate them, and when I take them out of the fridge I leave the cling wrap on till they come to room temperature.It’s not 100% effective but it helps.I also find that some fondant is better than others when it comes to bleeding and sweating so do experiment with different types.
