Hiya! I have a question for all of you wonderful decorators. I have 2 cakes to make for this weekend. (They have to be done by Friday night.) Anyway, seeing as I work part-time I thought it would be much easier if I bake the cakes today. My question is this - would I need tofreeze them for a couple of days or would they be ok if they were in the fridge?? I'm pretty new to this all and usually I bake the day before, but never 3 days before. I just don't want them to be "stale" tasting. Thanks!!

Wrap tight in plastic wrap and fridge or freeze and they'll be fine! Freezing does seem to 'lock' in the moisture a little better, but they will not taste 'stale'. Good luck!

They should be just fine in the freeze as long as the are wrapped well.

Thanks! One more question - do I leave it wrapped to thaw?

They should be OK in the frig. Just be sure to let them cool completely before wrapping them securely in plastic wrap. Depending on your time schedule, may even want go the extra step by giving them a crumb coat before wrapping them. Happy baking!

I do it either way. Just depends on what mood I am in. I either leave the wrap on or unwrap it and place it on a cake board. I don't know that it matters?
