I always recommend storing buttercream in an air-tight container in a fridge. It prevents buttercream from taking on any smells from the fridge. Store it the fridge for up to 5 days. This buttercream freezes well.
I would not recommend freezing this buttercream as marshmallow fluff does not like moisture. This is my personal experience. Please let me know if you had luck with freezing it.
