How do you go about this? What's the right way to freeze it without messing the icing up? I made an order for this weekend and the party got rained out so we need to preserve the cake until next weekend. It's all buttercream. Thanks in advance. icon_smile.gif

Bump. Wow I'd like to know too. I guess it would be like the top tier of the wedding cake method but I don't know how to do that either. I'm sure one of the pro's will know.

I've never done this before, but maybe it would work well to freeze it just long enough to be sure the icing is well set, then wrap it in clear wrap and foil????

I wonder if you could do a search on how to preserve the tip tier of a wedding cake and find directions there?

And here is the quote from it...

As far as fondant, I use Satin Ice, which can be refridgerated (don't think you can freeze - not sure) - again in a secure wrapping for up to 5 days.




HTH some, Jen
