Hello!

I only make cakes for family members birthdays, etc. so I am not as experienced as everyone here!

I baked my cakes tonight for my sister's birthday party on Sunday. I am planning on letting them rest tonight and then tomorrow fill them, use the dam to prevent bulging, and then coat it. I was planning on letting that sit overnight until Saturday morning and then cover it in fondant. My question is, should I put it in the refrigerator or leave it out to let it settle? I would prefer to put it in the fridge but I am worried that by refrigerating it the coating and filling would harden and I would not know if the layers would ultimately end up bulging.

Any ideas or tips from the pros out there?
