Thank you for the responses. I appreciate the feedback.
I cover my cakes while still warm – once cool, I freeze them until ready to use. When I’m ready to assemble the cake, I allow it to partially thaw out so it’s easier to torte – I fill it, crumbcoat it and finally put the fondant on. In between all these steps, I refrigerate the cake so it is easier to handle.
Other than the heat and high humidity, I don’t know what could have caused the cake to get so wet inside. I always refrigerate my fondant cakes and this had never happened before. Maybe I froze the cake while it was still warm and it got wet when it thawed.
I hope it doesn’t happen again! :)))
