Can You Bake Cakes Today For Saturday?

I wouldn't refrigerate them, but as long as they're well wrapped they'll be fine in the freezer. I actually wrap mine in plastic while they're still warm. It holds in a lot of moisture that escapes while it's cooling, then as long as they stay wrapped while they're thawing, the moisture is trapped inside.
They're also easier to torte when partially frozen.
just wrap them and put them in the freezer and they should be ok ![]()
The fridge dries them out. I read on a website (I think it was baking911) that you should never put bread in the fridge. The two don't go together. You can freeze it but no fridgey....
The fridge is kind of like a dehumidifier. Remember, you need a special drawer to keep veggies from wilting, and that doesn't even really do the trick for long.
The freezer essentially holds your baked goods in suspended animation. All the moisture is frozen into the cake, so when you thaw it, it's still there. Sometimes that can lead to soggy results, but not usually with cake. It just needs to be well wrapped to avoid freezer burn & taking on "that freezer smell." Yuck.
I have a ton of orders this week and baked my 3 cakes today for Friday but can I bake my saturday cakes today and just refridgerate them???
I had a big cake to do on a Friday night and started baking on Tuesday evening. They were from scratch so I don't know how you are doing yours.
I baked Tuesday night. I wrapped them in plastic wrap real well and left them sit at room temperature. I didn't freeze or refrigerate. On Wednesday evening I soaked them in soaking syrup and then iced them. They were all placed on their boards and covered in cake boxes to be assembled Friday morning.
So this will be the same timing for you. My cakes have always been fine. I have baked 3 days in advance, wrapped my cakes at room temp with no problem. On the 3rd day is when I soaked them in syrup and iced them.
