My mom has iced a cake with fondant icing. How long can you leave the icing in the open? Will it spoil or dry?

Source: http://www.baking911.com/decorating/cakes_fondant.htm Storage of a Fondant covered cake or Petits Fours depends on the type and the fillings and frostings. In general, a Rolled or Poured Fondant covered cake does NOT need to be refrigerated, unless necessary. A fondant covered cake will keep for about 5 days in a cardboard box, with a cover, in a cool dry place. If it contains perishable fillings, frostings or decorations, it MUST be refrigerated. Keep it loosely covered or in a cardboard box with a cover. In general, refrigerating a cake will dry it out, but less so if covered with Fondant. The fondant covering will harden if stored at room temperature, but it takes about a week or so, depending on the humidity. A fondant covered cake stored in the refrigerator will have its covering remain somewhat pliable from the moisture in the refrigerator. However, if you have decorations on the cake, you have to be careful whether or not the cake can be refrigerated with the decorations on the cake; if you are using gumpaste or sugar designs they will completely droop.
