Making/storing Madeira

[pigleychez]

DD1's 4th birthday party on Sat and im making attempting a princess castle cake for her.

Stupidly busy this week so wondering how far in advance I can make the cake. Im planning a Madeira.
If I made the cake today, would it be ok to ice on Fri afternoon/evening?
If so how would I store it?

thanks

Piggle.I was going to say store in your tummy but that's not v helpful

Anyway, there was a thread in baking recently about freezing cakes to decorate. Cant link as on me mobile

pigleychez, thats fine to make it that far ahead, i made one sun for yesterday, made one yesterday to be eaten on sat, madeira has a long shelf life!

But, if covering in fondant, dont store in the fridge, i have mine undecorated at the moment sitting in the garage, hope thats helpfull.
