Can anyone (I'm sure you can) give me advice on freezing cakes. I have baked 6 cakes tonight (monday) for a cake I need to construct on Wed night. I want to make sure that they are fresh. Any input on ho to store them for two days? Thanks!!!

Hi, what I usually do, is to wait until the cakes are completely cooled down, then I wrap them in plastic wrap completely. Then I put them in a plastic container with a lid. And stick them in the freezer.

The night before I need them I let them unfreeze in the fridge still in the container. Hope this helps!!!

Thanks bumble that is a great idea.

You welcome, let me know how great it turns out!!!

I'll post a picture. It is my first "theme" cake. It is for a poker birthday party. Also my first real stacked cake. Should be an adventure but I am so excited. Should the cakes be totally thawed before I start doing anything or is it okay if they are still a little frozen?

It is ok to carve when it still frozen but DO NOT put the fondant (if you are using fondant) when it is even cold, let it get to room temp. and then decorate it, I did it before and believe me it was and ugly, bumpy and nasty looking fondant covered cake.

I hope this can help you a little

Thanks for the tip! Good thing you said something or I probably would have started tonight shortly after taking them out!!!

You're welcome!! and oops!! I forgot Welcome to the best web-site ever , anything you need yous ask . Ok? I am sure every body will happy to help you including me

Blessings for you and your family

I leave my cakes in the pan for 10 minutes then wrap while warm in 2 layers of plastic wrap then 2 layers of aluminum foil. I place them immediately into the freezer. When I need them, I lay them out the morning I will decorate them. Leave them wrapped until needed about 1 -2 hours, unwrap, and then decorate. I think by wrapping the cakes while warm and placing them in the freezer, lets the condensation get trapped in the cake and makes it so moist. I have left cakes in the freezer for 3 months, had my husband try it, and he thought I had made it that day. Good luck.

I agree w/amyfj - don't have to wait until the are cold. When you do you lose some of the natural moisture from the cakes. Wrap them when you turn them out of the pan.....about 10-15 minutes.
