    Not necessarily! Fondant tends to get sticky and soft after being refrigerated, so some people prefer to leave their cakes out of the fridge to avoid this. Of course, the refrigeration factor depends on if it's summertime or hot outside, too.

    Fondant is something people use to cover cakes, it's a thick sugar paste. It's rolled out and used to cover cakes because it's much smoother than frosting. You can also mold it into decorations.

    The fondant loses moisture during storage. Wrap in plastic wrap to seal in moisture. Brush water over fondant before serving.

    Yes, for the most part it does. Just be careful if applying plastic wrap, because it might smear the frosting.
