A cake covered in fondant can typically stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days at room temperature, provided it's stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the cake contains perishable fillings or frostings, it may need to be refrigerated, which can extend its freshness to about a week. However, refrigeration can sometimes affect the texture of the fondant. For optimal freshness, it's best to consume the cake within a few days of baking.
If it is kept cool it will last about three or four days.

Fondant won't really "preserve" a piece of cake. It will keep it fresher a bit longer, but the cake will still go bad soon thereafter.

Fondant is a sugary mixture that becomes like modeling clay when at room temperature and it's used to cover decorated cakes. Since the cake needs to be at room temperature to serve and since fondant can easily become soft enough to sag or slide off the cake, the best way to keep it from melting is to keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve and only give it an hour or so to warm up. Keep any unserved portion back in the fridge. To keep it from melting while your working with it to cover the cake or make the decorations, keep the room cooler than you would usually and stay away from sunny windows, the oven and any other heat source.

It depends on the conditions. Usually, it will last for about 4 to 5 hours. If the weather or surrounding are very hot, humid, raining, next to a heater, under hot lights, or in direct sunlight, then it will last maybe only 2 or so hours.
Fondant may tear due to several reasons, including insufficient kneading, which can lead to a lack of elasticity, or rolling it too thin, making it fragile. Additionally, working in a dry environment can cause the fondant to harden, while excessive moisture can make it sticky and difficult to handle. Lastly, improper storage or temperature changes can also affect its texture and pliability, leading to tearing.
