I'm sure this has been covered, but my searches aren't pulling anything.
I'm hosting a b-day party on Friday. The last batch of cakes is in the oven as I type. I've wrapped the first batch in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. One Yahoo answers page I found said to put a HOT cake directly into the freezer to keep it moist. Other answers said to let them cool completely (this is what I did because I did it before searching.) Some answers said to decorate frozen, while others said to let thaw before decorating. What about leveling? I was so tired when I finished last night that I stuck them in the freezer unleveled. It seems like it would be easier to level them frozen, anyway. I'm not very good at leveling! 
Anyway, TIA!

I always freeze mine, I take them out of pans and put on cooling rack, after cooled completely I wrap in grocery bags from each end and tie. Then I level them frozen as well as decorate them. This makes it so much easier for me. Less crumbs too. I do not keep them any longer than 2 weeks in the freezer. I have had really good luck with this process too.
Hope this helps
