    Delia has this to say about storing sponge cakes.

    Enjoy the wedding.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    If you haven't iced the cake you can pop the sponge in the freezer until you need it.

    Just realised the wedding is on Tuesday. If you have only just made it today then it will store fine in a cake tin or a plastic container. I always use plastic tupperware to store my sponge cakes in and they store fine. You only get moisture in the container if you leave in a warm place or put the cake in the container too soon after you have put melted chocolate on the top.

    Anyway, good on you for making a cake for your friend...well done!
