Because sometimes here is so hot where I live, I always put my cakes in the fridge before giving them out. Frosted, iced, decorated with fondant or without. I do not like to leave them out of the fridge for I been scared to get spoiled. So far, I have not have any of the colors bleeding or running off. I just let them out of the fridge for about an hour before giving them to the individuals. Some time they have been totally ready in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. I do keep them in a container, box or pretty much covered. My husband gave me a fridge as a present just for cakes only, so I have a lot of room for cakes.

Fondant cake by: Lena, Kuching Malaysia
Since is for your own wedding, you can start baking your cake 3 days before your wedding. Normally most cake can last at least 4 days without fridge. If you bake a week earlier then store it in the fridge or freezer but without fondant. Defrost totally before use.
Well fondant is made of sugar, never keep a fondant cake in the fridge. My weather here is very humid so I will only put the fondant on the cake 1 day before the event and try to keep in the air-cond room. For your weather is dried so you can cover the cake earlier (2-3 days) but never, never keep it in the fridge.

making your own cake by: Kelly
I'm sorry I don't know all the answers to your questions!
I made my own wedding cake last Nov. and I posted it on here as well.
I baked the cakes on Tuesday and Wednesday and iced them on Wednesday....then set them up for the reception on Thursday.
It's cold here so I kept them in the basement. I kept them covered before I iced them.
After I iced them, I just let them stay in the cold air.
The cake was perfect inside.
