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.

yes especially if you have cream cheese frosting
I wouldn't. The dairy in the frosting could go really sour, and I just wouldn't trust it. Why not refrigerate?
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 might if you bought it at the store, but no, if it is homemade. It will mold.
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.
only if you keep your house on the cold side...if it's too warm the cake will definitely spoil in a week...
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.
