I have posted about this and didn't get many replies. So this weekend was my daughter's birthday.. I made a 2 tier cake. We only ate the bottom tier so I still had the top tier intact with dragees and fondont decorations throughout. I wanted to test it myself......and....YES YOU CAN!!! I put in freezer uncovered and took it out 2 days later....let it thaw for a few hours and is was like new...not sticky at all. When I took it out it was alittle sticky but once condensation was gone...it was nice and dry and just like the first day....So all you guys that wanted to know this..here ya go!

Wow - thanks for the info. Can I ask what type of fondant you used?

Thanks but I would also like to know what kind of fondant you used. I know that you can freeze Satin Ice fondant but didn't know you could successfully freeze any other. I'm gonna have to give it a try.

MMF is what I used.. and it worked !!! Cake boss does it all the time and his cakes are fully decorated when he takes them out the freezer...so i decided to try it and YES!! IT WORKS!! It take about 8 hours for it to be complete dry though.

to help prevent condensation which can cause the colors to bleed, when you take it out of the freezer, put it in the fridge and let it thaw in there. Yes, it does take longer, but little to no condensation.

great tip - THANK YOU!

I had read that Ron Ben-Israel has a unique, secret, custom-designed refrigerator that allows him to refrigerate fondant cakes. Has anyone tried to just keep one cold in the fridge vs. freezer?

You're right Motta, Toba Garrett had said in one of her classes that there are humitity free refrigerators that they used to store their fondant cakes and they are very, very expensive.

When you took it out of the freezer, did you leave it uncovered on your counter?

Yes. Uncovered. Just like Cake Boss. Goes in Freezer uncovered. My decorations didn't bleed or anything. It was just like the first day. I am so happy I got to try it for myself.

I keep mine in the fridge all the time as well. I only run into problems in the warmer, humid months when it gets condensation after coming out of the fridge.

Have anyone tried to freeze a cake with Michele Foster's fondant? I love her fondant and I make it all the time.

Thank you mom2my3girlz for the great info!

Cake boss did a live interview online about a month ago where someone asked him about refrigerating his fondant. He said that he had a special refrigerator/freezer made that cuts out the humidity and condensation. It's not a regular refrigerator/freezer.

Me too, Although at the commercial kitchen where I rent time they have a huge walk in and I can't put my fondant cakes in it due to the high humidity. My flowers and other decorations wilt. At home in the frig. my cakes do fine.

Thank you all so much for this info. But I'm wondering, can you freeze the wiltons fondant? I'm new at doing this as a side business and have been very busy. I find myself up half the night (cause it's easier to work without the kids "help") and then I'm beat the next day. I've been baking and freezing the cakes in advance, but have been to afraid to try decorating then freezing. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

I'm not familiar with the Wilton fondant in freezing. I would just try freezing a little bit for experimentation and see how you like it.

I made a cake a week early (oops!) and it's completely covered in Michele Foster's fondant. It's in the freezer now and I'll post how it turns out after next weekend.
