AHello. Im making my sons Halloween birthday cake which is a pumpkin. I was hoping to make it the night before. My question is can if cover it in butter frosting the night before will this stop it from drying out or going stale? x any advice will be much appreciated x many thanks x

Nothing bad should happen to it.  what filling are you using in the cake? anything perishable like cream cheese? if not it should be ok.  what cake are you making, sponge, buttercake etc?

AHi suzied, it will be sponge with a butter cream filling. Thank you so much for the advice.

AReally a appreciated x can i also colour the sponge or best to leave as it is?

I have never coloured a sponge cake. I am sure a tear drop of colour added to it wont cause any harm
