I am very new to cakes so forgive my newbie question 
This website is a wealth of info!
I have class on Wednesdays but have to bake my cake on Sundays or Mondays. Then I am frosting on Tuesdays so they are ready for Wednesday. My question is what do I do w/ the cake after I bake, but before I frost to keep it it's freshest?
-wrap and leave on counter
-wrap and refrigerate
-wrap and freeze
-other???
Any advice is welcome and appreciated! TIA!

I thaw mine on the counter, and keep it wrapped until thawed. Doesn't take long. It's actually much easier to stack the larger layers while they are still cold too.
