Preparing To Carve: Torte And Stack Before Freezing?
Decorating By sugardugar Updated 15 Mar 2011 , 4:42am by sugardugar
The only cake I have carved was only two layers: the one I am to carve tomorrow will be 4 layers. Sooo...I have to dowel and board after the first two. I also want to carve from frozen.
Do I board, torte, dowel and then freeze? If not, what? And how do you really determine your internal board size it you're going to carve it down...just guess?
TIA!
What I do is torte and wrap and freeze. Then the next day I fill/dowel/stack then carve, then crumbcoat then let it come to room temp for at least 3 hours if not over night before covering with fondant or the last layer of buttercream. Hope this helps!

when do you carve? at room temp? or do you dowel it, etc while it's still frozen?
Carve and dowel when it's frozen..but not in that order. Get your structure sound then carve then crumbcoat.
