There is the risk that the sponge would get to dry. But if you kept the stored sponge without the sauce, you could warm it up and then pour the sauce over the warmed up sponge and it should not be that dry. Even if you store it after it has sauce on it would just become stickier. It is best eaten warm and spongy with the sauce seeping into the sponge.
