I just did it! I had to make a wedding cake for my cousin who lives 14 hours away. I was worried about driving that far this time of year with all the heat, so I decided I would just go ahead and freeze the fondant covered cakes and see what happened. Here's what I did... I baked, filled (raspberry preserves and BC), iced, and covered my cakes (6,8,10, and 12") in fondant. I put them in boxes and wrapped the whole box well in saran wrap and put them in the stand-up freezer the day before I left. We folded the van seat down and put some of that gripping shelf liner stuff down and set the frozen cakes on it without unwrapping the saran wrap. We drove and got there on Friday night and put them in the refrigerator and left the saran wrap on. At this point I had to peek to make sure they were okay. They were still cool to the touch and did sweat a little, but the fondant still looked perfect. The next morning I took them out of the refridgerator and the cakes were a teeny tiny bit sticky, but they air dried in about 30 minutes. The fondant was still perfect. No drooping or sagging or anything. I decorated them that morning for the wedding that evening. The cake was super moist and delicious. Success! Good to know, right?!?

. I have no idea how it was stored in there, and because of the whole preferred vendor thing, they didn't cut it, which I'm actually grateful for. Who knows if it was in there uncovered next to a side of beef or something 
. BUT it LOOKED amazing! The only issue was a possible finger dent in one corner of the box.
