I've never frozen my cakes before and wanted some input from everyone. Does it effect the taste?

I was contemplating freezing an un-frosted cake (with a layer of buttercream filling) for a couple of days. Is that a bad idea? icon_confused.gif

I freeze single layers all the time. Have NEVER had anyone notice a difference in taste. I wrap them well in either zip-loks or saran wrap. I believe that they are more moist after having been frozen. Heard a girl rant once that she could always taste a cake that had been frozen. I'm not believing it! LOL Not so sure about your BC filling. I wouldn't do it, but maybe there are those who have and would say DO IT.

I recently made sheetcakes for 450. Froze all but two of them....then thawed and frosted them prior to the event. THE GUESTS RAVED ABOUT THE CAKE.

Thanks for the help. Has anyone had experience with frozen a cake with BC filling?

I always freeze my cakes before frosting and decorating them. When they thaw out after being frosted they are very moist. I always seal my frosting with hot water so the moisture is sealed inside.

Double ditto! Had a bride tell me she hated frozen cake and raved over the sample she was eating. So I said, "You want your cake to taste just like that one then, right?" As she nodded in agreement (too busy eating cake!), it was really fun to watch her face as I told her, "that cake has been in my freezer for 3 weeks." icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif
