i have 5 cake orders at one same date..this end of the month..i already made the styro dummies on top of each wedding cake..and my prob is.. can i decorate the cake 2 days before the pick up date? will it be possible 'coz the other cakes are 5 layered and 3 layered mini fondant cakes..is it ok if i take the frozen cake out of the freezer 2 days before the wedding?and does the fondant makes the cake last longer when i place it 2 days or 3 days before? hope to hear from you guys... thanks so much..

Before I started freezing my cakes, I would always bake on wednesday, level, fill, and crumb ice on thursday, and decorate on friday. So the cakes were baked 3 days ahead, and they were always really good. Now that I freeze my cakes, I bake them a week ahead and freeze. I take them out on wednesday night, and let them thaw, and work on them the next day. I usually don't put the fondant on until the day before the wedding, but I don't see why you couldn't. Maybe someone else with more experience with fondant will help you out.

hi cathyscakes.. thank u very for the input.. really a great help.. i'm confident about the fondant my concern is the cake inside..i guess there's no way for it to spoil if we freeze it then decorate it 2 days before...yep freezing the cakes really helps..

As a test, I left a fondant covered cake on my kitchen table for 7 days, and when I cut into it, it seemed slightly drier than normal, but other than that, I didn't see any sign of deterioration whatsoever. I wasn't brave enough to taste it, but my husband did, and said he would not have known it wasn't a freshly made cake. I think the fondant covering keeps the moisture in.

Omg!! this is the answer i'm waiting for..coa i really have 5 big orders this sunday..and like wat u've said..i wasn't brave enough to try and taste this..my boyfriend might kill me if experimented this on him..LOL!! way to go...coz the clients will pickup their cakes aturday morning and they'll use it sunday morning for their events....gosh! wat a big help...i'll post the cake pix sunday morning...thank u so much!!!
