I just finished my 1st fondant cake, and looking at it, it looks kind of dry. I wanted to know if you can leave it out or do you have to refridgerate?

Sometimes the fondant (applied over buttercream) can help keep the cake's moisture in. Its okay to put in the fridge, but once you take it out it is succeptable to 'sweating' and gets a glossy look to it. Not always bad, but if you try to touch it, you will leave fingerprints in the 'sticky' fondant.

I always refridgerate my cakes, even fondant covered ones. LamShack is right on with the sweating and the fingerprints, just dont touch it!
