question about crumb coating a cake?

Rolos_girl

Thanks for all your help so far ladies!

I plan to crumb coat the cake the night before. I may not be able to put it in the fridge overnight due to not having enough room in the fridge.

I can leave it at room temp and the "seal" from the coating of frosting will keep the cake fresh, right?  I want the coating to "set" as much as it can overnight, then I was thinking of popping it in the freezer for 30 mins prior to putting the final frosting layer on.

If I have enough room in the fridge, I will put them in there, but then I am worried about condensation on the crumb coating forming? I am in VT, so thinking it will not be a problem, but that would throw a big kink in things :-)

Thanks again!

I haven't been following all of your cake posts but I personally wouldn't leave a cake out overnight. I'd throw things out of my fridge and stack crap up to make room lol.

You need to get it cold so the crumb coat sets.

I have a cooler for times like this. Stuff in the cooler and cake in the fridge. Plus this time of year it is much much better to frost and decorate a cold cake.
