I have had a lady request a cake the size (about 1x1x1) of a petit four, but without the icing. She only wants a thing layer of icing in the middle and on top. The I am going to put a couple mmf flowers and leaves.

My question is how do I keep the little cakes from drying out without the icing? I am afraid if I make them early in the day , by 3pm they will be dry. But I am experienced enough to know that if I wait until just before somethign will happen and I will be stuck!

So, do you think they will dry out? Would putting them in tupperware work? If I make them now and then freeze in tupperware, then take out a couple hours prior will that work? Perhaps I could decorate with everything but the flowers and then freeze?

Oh I am stuck...please help.

thanks

Hello Julia, I bought a while ago, some great containers from Wal-Mart that I use to transport and to storage my cupcakes, they work excellent, and you dont have to refrigerate them, in this container, what I do Is I bake two to three days in advance and store them in room temperature, the container prevents the cake from drying when I haven't put the icing on them, once I do put a cream cheese buttercream I do store in the fridge.

I found my containers in the bakerware aisle in warlmart, and they are just beside the cake round dome containers, these are rectangular great for cupcakes and petit fours,

hope the info helps
