IS IT OK FOR ME TO BAKE BIRTHDAY CAKES THURSDAY NIGHT AND REFRIDGERATE THEM UNTIL SATURDAY. AND THEN FROST AND DECORATE THEM SATURDAY MORNING FOR TTHE PARTY.

WOULD IT CAUSE A PROBLEM WHEN IT'S TIME TO BE FROSTED?
WOULD IT DRY IT OUT AND MAKE IT TOO HARD?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW. NEVER DONE IT BEFORE. THANKS

If it was only a 2 day wait, I would just add a simple syrup to the cakes, then wrap them securely with saran wrap, then foil, then put them in the refrigerator. Longer than 2 days I would freeze them.

Just my opinion

I agree........but I find that after cakes are frozen they seem to be a lot more moist...so I always freeze my cakes even if its only for a day!! I just like the flavor and texture better.........but if you want to keep it in the fridge for two days make sure you wrap it really well the fridge has a tendency to REALLY dry things out....if you're planning on using a simple syrup you should be fine though.

SORRY I SAID REFRIDGERATE I REALLY MEANT FREEZE. SO WHEN I BAKE THEM THURSDAY NIGHT I LET THEM COMPLETELY COOL AND THEN WRAP THEM IN PLASTIC WRAP AND FOIL?

DO I TAKE THEM OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE TO THAW OR CAN I FROST THEM FROZEN?

I agree. I always freeze mine. Sometimes I let them thaw first and other times I frost them frozen. Haven't had any trouble either way.
