I would like to make some BC ahead of time and save myself the hassle and hecticness of getting it ready every time I want to make a cake. ( I have 2 small children so any time saved is a great help ) So I have a few questions. (also, I use a half butter, half crisco recipe)
1: Can I make it and freeze it?
2: If so, how long?
3: again if so, how do I store it?
4: I know I'll need to re-whip it, but will I need to add more milk?

Sorry about all the questions, but I'm still really new at this LOL

Thanks ladies!

I'm not sure about freezing...but it keeps well in a air-tight container in the fridge for 2 weeks. I ususally make mine up a couple of days in advance and rewhip it without adding anything to it. Only if it seems to have dried out a bit do I add more milk.

..you can freeze it without hesitation! Same procedure...freeze in an airtight container for months..when ready to use, bring to room temp and re-whip..shouldn't need to add any addtional liquid but that is up to you, you may find it necessary!

I freeze mine all the time...especially the red and black.
