NO - if you are going to make it ahead, freeze it and then take it out of the freezer about 2 hours before decorating. Be sure to put a thin layer of frosting between the fondant and the cake to help the cake stay moist.

If you do not plan on making a frosting for the cake I would top the cake with a streusel type topping. A bit of butter, flour, nuts and sugar. It will bake into the cake giving you a crunchy topping. If you don't want to do that just sprinkle the top with some sugar and you will have a crunchy top to your cake. A glaze would also taste good but most carrot cakes are pretty moist without a glaze.

I wouldn't. With cakes and breads that are as moist as carrot cake usually is, leaving it out for more than 4-5 days has always been a risk where I live (it's quite warm and humid most of the time here, which doesn't help). Still, seems like it would probably spoil.

it depends on a few things: weather and icing
if it's fairly warm where the cake is going to be and or the icing has dairy in it, then no.
if it's still on the cool side where the cake is going to be and or the icing has no dairy a week is pushing it. i would say 4-5 days.
to be safe, i would refrigerate it anyway.

Keep it in the frig, to keep it moist and not drying out. u need not risk the chance of spoilage and tainted topping. In the desert here all goes to frig.

I wouldn't. The dairy in the frosting could go really sour, and I just wouldn't trust it. Why not refrigerate?

only if you keep your house on the cold side...if it's too warm the cake will definitely spoil in a week...

It might if you bought it at the store, but no, if it is homemade. It will mold.
