I am planning on making my daughter a Teapot Cake for her birthday this Saturday. I want to make it on Thursday or Friday. I am going to try to use rolled fondant and buttercream icing with a plain white cake. I am not sure if I should keep it in the refridgerator or cover it and leave it out. Can someone give me a suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

I've never worked with fondant, but I've read on other posts that you shouldn't refrigerate fondant-covered cakes.

BUMP!

Hmm, I was just about to ask a very similar question. I want to make my God daughter's birthday cake this year, but I was wondering how far in advance we can frost it and where to store it, so I hope someone can answer! Thanks!

if you mean keeping the already baked cake perhaps crumb coated with buttercream that would be ok...I do that a lot...but once it is covered in fondant you really shouldn't. It sweats and can and probably will mess up the coloring... what I think I would do would be bake the cake, crumb coat it, and put it in the fridge that way...not covered with the fondant. then while the cake was in there...make as much of the decorations out of buttercream refridge those too. Or if some of the decor will also be fondant, then make some of those, just keep them in a covered air tight container until ready to fully assemble the cake.
