IS IT NECESSARY TO FREEZE TWO CAKES IF I'M BAKING THEM THURSDAY NIGHT AND FROSTING SATURDAY MORNING FOR A PARTY IN THE EVENING. IN A NUTSHELL I'LL BE BAKING THURSDAY NIGHT AND FROSTING SATURDAY MORNING FOR THE EVENING PARTY.

THANKS FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK.. thumbs_up.gif

NO--

I'd suggest wrapping really well (about 10 minutes after removing from the hot pan) in saran wrap--that helps keep the moisture in the cake--and then just put it in the fridge--or just keep it in a well cooled place.

Should be fine.

Hope this helps,

THANKS A LOT. BUT IF I WRAP A CHARACTER CAKE WHILE STILL KINDA HOT OR WARM. WON'T THE FEATURES BE MESSED UP IF THE CAKE SWEAT A LITTLE IN THE SARAN WRAP. WHEN TAKING OUT THE SARAN WRAP WON'T THE CAKE KINDA STICK TO IT. IT'S AN ELMO FULL BODY CAKE.

I like working with frozen/thawed cakes better since they are easier to ice. I freeze mine or stick them in the fridge no matter how short of a time frame I have.

I wrapped my character cake in saran wrap froze it let it thaw while wrapped and did not have any trouble with the cake sticking to the saran wrap. If I remember right my cake was still warm when I wrapped it.

IF YOU FROST A FROZEN CAKE OR NOT COMPLETELY THAWED WOULDNT IT MELT THROW THE FROSTING??

No, the cake will develop a certain amount of condensation, but this evaporates quickly, once everything has reached the same temp!

I used to think the same thing--but now, if I can't bake/decorate in the same day, (which never seems to happen with my schedule, anyway) this is how I do it. The character pans work out fine, too.

Hope this helps!
