Sometimes, you just don’t want a cold cake. Maybe it’s a naked cake. Maybe it’s full of fruit. Maybe you’re a rebel who hates rules. I respect that.
For fondant-covered cakes, the fridge is often the enemy. Fondant sweats. It gets sticky and weird. Just cover the cake in plastic wrap and leave it on the counter. Use a cake dome if you’re fancy.
For unfrosted cakes, do the same. Wrap them tight. Put them in a bread box or a cabinet. Your cake will be happy and moist. But don’t leave it out forever—we’re talking one night, not a week.
