I HAVE TO DO A CAKE THAT IS DUE ON A SATURDAY BUT SINCE IAM UNABLE TO DO IT SATURDAY I WILL HAV TO DO IT THURSDAY BECUZ I LEAVE OUT OF TOWN THURSDAY NITE MY QUESTION IS WILL THE FONDANT AND YELLOW CAKE STILL BE GOOD FROM THURSDAY TO SATURDAY?

It depends on the filling!!! What kind of filling are you going to use?

Provided it is NOT filled with something perishable, it will be perfectly fine.

If you've filled it with frosting that is safe at room temp (as most BC's are) and covered it with that type of frosting, you will be just fine.

I once frosted and covered a cake with fondant on a Thurs. that wasn't eaten until Sat. It was totally moist and fresh tasting. Fondant is a great cake preserver!

WELL I WAS GONNA ICE IT FIRST WIT BC THEN COVER IT WITH FONDANT HOPE IT WILL SURVIVE BUT CAKESBYCARLA IF U SAY IT WILL BE FINE I HOPE I CAN TRUST UR INSTINCTS

CakesbyCarla is right - it should be just fine. If you're leaving it in the hands of someone else until Saturday, just be sure that person knows how to take care of it. For example, if you don't want it refrigerated, they should know that. Some people would immediately assume it should be socked into the fridge. Good luck!

Cakes by Carla is correct...you will be fine. I do it almost every week. BTW CakesByCala I love your avatar!

THANKS U GUYS

The cake should be fine and even moist. The only problem is that the fondant will harden. To prevent this I place a cardboard box over cake and then cover with a new, clean trash bag.

i made a cake with pineapple filling and covered with fondant on thur, left it in the fridge till sunday and it was just fine. the cake was still moist a few days after that to. you should`t have any problems

Kimbordeaux...wouldn't the fondant get too soft if you covered it? Maybe it should be left a little bit open underneath?

Thanks Ana! I don't wear glasses, but if I ever do you know I'll be wearing some like Sylvia's!

Soledad,
I guess it would all depend on type of cake, filling, icing and type of fondant you are using. I find homemade fondant doesn't dry out as fast but I use mostly Satin Ice and it usually starts drying out before I'm through decorating. Maybe its where I live also but, I've never had a problem with too soft fondant, always the opposite.
