Hello everyone,
I am apparently nuts and volunteered to bring home FOUR cakes this weekend. I have quite a bit to do and was wondering how you go about freezing cakes for future use. What's the best way to store them in the freezer? Do they still taste good? Is the cake devoid of moisture after being in the freezer for a few days? I have never done this before and would love to do it because it would save me a lot of time later on.
Thank you!
The only way your cake will be dry is if it was a dry cake to start with. Freezing it will not dry it out as long as it is wrapped properly. I sometimes freeze mine. When I do, I wrap in plastic wrap and then in foil after they have cooled. Let it thaw at room temp and then let them air dry for a little bit before you ice it.
Some people never freeze, some swear by freezing. I am in between and freeze when I have to because of taking too many orders.
Hello everyone,

Quite the contrary, as long as the cake is properly wrapped, freezing actually helps your cakes be more moist
I wrap the cake when it is RIGHT out of the oven this contains all the steam that would normally be evaporated into the air. I then toss it straight into the freezer. I don't like to freeze for more than a few days, 2 weeks a the MOST. I then pull out of the freezer and let it thaw while STILL wrapped. This is important or the some of the moisture from the cake gets lost on the plastic wrap. I tend to let it thaw for 4ish ours before I begin to ice. This process leads to an extremely moist cake. It also makes a more dense pound cake like texture. I love this, others do not. It's all up to your personal taste/preference. Good luck!!

This is true! I recently had to freeze a cake i was working on (only for a couple hrs tho) it was wrapped in pw, and when i let it sit out to thaw..all the 'perspiration' was on the outside of the pw. BTW, the cake had a crumb-coat.
