NO - don't fridge it!
by: cake decorator

Hi
I run a commercial kitchen, we never ever fridge fondant (sugarpaste) icing. assuming you are talking about the icing you roll out. . .
If you have any left over, store it in a food bag e.g. sandwich bag or freezer bag, and then put in the cupboard, or in a container for up to a maximum of 6 weeks. Don't use cling wrap or cling film as it is still porous and the icing will still go hard.
Hope this helps.

Fondant Covered Cakes
by: Michelle (admin)

Hi Ashley,

Yes, you can keep the fondant refrigerated until you are ready to cover the cake, but once the cake is covered do not put it back in the refrigerator. The condensation that can occur when the cake is coming to room temperature can cause water spots on the fondant finish, ruining your hard work.
