Hi.

Just a mommy learning to make my 2 daughters birthday cakes.

I was going to bake tonight...
frost tomorrow...
then EAT on Sat.(party at 3)

Does that sound okay?

I don't need to freeze it right?

Should I store the cakes in the fridge or not?

Those are questions I'm always confused on!(although I know diff people will do it slightly diff)


My planned cakes in case that makes a diff.
Chocolate cake with chocolate whipped gnache.
and
Strawberry cake with strawberry filling(fresh stawberries with the gel)
Buttercream dream frosting.

Thanks so much ladies and gents!
This site is so addicting. I could spend all day just looking at the gallery.

I not an expert with fillings, but I do know that you can bake it tonight and it will be fine if you wrap it with plastic wrap. You won't need to freeze it before frosting it. I'm not sure if once it is filled if it will need to be in the fridge though. I've only used buttercream and I've haven't needed to put it in the fridge. Maybe someone else with more experience with fillings can give you an answer.
Sounds yummy though!!

If you bake tonight, I would wrap in plastic wrap, this will keep it moist. no need to freeze.

fine to ice tomorrow, but if your ganache has whipping cream (or something similar) you will want to put cake in fridge.

it should be delicious and moist to eat on saturday! good luck!
