about making buttercream icing on thursday, baking cakes on friday, possibly decorating on friday, and if not friday, then saturday morning for a cake due sunday afternoon? It would just be a boxed cake mix but I got a lot of other stuff planned for this weekend (not cake related) and I would like to get the cake ready as early as possible but still have it taste fresh and moist .. sound reasonable?
great, thanks you guys this will save me a ton of "extra" work during a busy weekend!
I always bake a couple of cakes one day, wrap them and freeze, make the icing and color it one day then the next morning I lay the cake out early and frost later on in the day. I really think the cake stays moist and the colors get more vibrant as the BC sits.
IMO
Christi (of course I don't have as many cakes as most of CCers here do so it might not work for you)
I create gumpaste stuff weeks in advance, I then bake one night, next night crumb coat and third night decorate.
I hate doing it all at once. I mean I really hate doing everything at one time. Really marathons are for runners.
My cakes are yummy days later.
ok great guys .. thanks a lot .. looks like tomorrow I'll be baking and possibly icing ... sounds like they should be pretty moist until sunday, thanks again everyone!
