Anyone freeze cakes covered with poured ganache for future tastings? I made one tonight to test how it will do. I'd appreciate anyone's input!

The special characteristic of ganache, is the smooth glossy finish. If you freeze it, you will lose the shine.

Although I do bake ahead and freeze cake layers for wedding cakes, I don't generally use frozen pieces for tastings.

You never know when you might need a certain combination, and it can be a big waste to throw away samples all the time.

If you have left over ganache, make truffles, or freeze it in a closed container. then you can re-melt it and use it 'like new'
