I brought 1 of the cakes from the freezer for the party Saturday its crumb coated. I got it out of freezer ate 6 am I am starting to decoarte it at about 4 pm. Do I just start decorating it from the refrigerator or do I sit it out at room temp?? Please let me know Im so nervous first character cakes and im doing Pooh holding 1 tonight. Choclates have been done. Darth comes out of freezer in the morning. Then tommorrow Im baking the pooh single smash cake. Ill decorate it late Friday night. Im also making pooh rice krispies treats tommorrow. I will be able to breath once these parties are done and the houseworks all done. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks,
Melanie

I would let it come to room temp, or close to it. I usually let mine thaw at room temp.

I've never let mine set out until room temp. I've even done them straight from the freezer. The buttercream sweats sometimes doing it that way but it's never caused any problems.

When I froze my cakes, I took them out and left them wrapped and set out to thaw fully before decorating.

I've iced them frozen and thawed, depending on how long it took me to get the frosting ready LOL I have never noticed a difference either way.....I definitely prefer to torte the cakes when they're frozen though
