I would bake today. Wrap well and freeze until ready to decorate. I typically just take out of freezer about 30 minutes before i'm ready to decorate to thaw out a little bit.

So sorry for the death in the family.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family!

I would absolutely bake today, wrap well in plastic wrap and freeze, remove to decorate on Tuesday when you need to.

Dear Grannycurly,
First, my condolances to you and your families loss.
Secondly, by all means go ahead and bake today and if you need to freeze, wrap in a couple of layers of saran wrap then again in foil. Some people use bags.
Lastly, Noticed this is your first post, WELCOME TO CAKECENTRAL, glad to have you with us.
Anytime we can be of any help, that's what we're here for.

Thank you everyone for the support. I spent all day yesterday baking bar cookies and making chocolate truffles. Which is not easy since my graandkids live with me while their dad is in Iraq. Today I will do cakes and tomorrow pies, I think. usaribbon.gif
