Ok so I had a 2 layer round cake due Friday for a birthday party. Well, I got a call today from the mom and she has tonsilitis.... party cancelled.

I already baked and iced the cake (no decorations yet.. plain), can I freeze it? it does not have any fruit in the filling or anything. Will it affect the cake at all?

What kind of filling did you use? Some fillings will freeze well, but some won't. Buttercream will freeze just fine.

How long are you planning to freeze it? The longer youwant tokeep it, the better you should wrap it. Wrap it in wax paper first then foil. If youhave a sealable dish to put it in, that would be best.

I use the 3 gallon size zip-lock type bags. Slip the crumb coated cake in there and it can be frozen for weeks. Have used two of these end to end for a half sheetcake and then used wide tape to seal the edges where they meet. I cut off the zip-lok part for the sheet cakes so it won't damage the icing... I support them on cookie sheets/jellyroll pans

My wilton instructor puts her iced tiers in the freezer with no covering for a few days.............says it's not a problem. I thought it would dry out~ but I promise you she's a perfectionist and would not compromise on her cakes. I just think she doesn't have any ocean perch or catfish in that freezer! Just cake!!!!

I recently froze some cakes filled with buttercream and had no problems. I let the cakes defrost inside the wrapping and they were fine. icon_smile.gif

Have you guys tried those extra large zip-loc bags? They even have XXL. Those things can hold several sheet cakes! They are wonderful!
