Help! Forgot To Get Cakes Out Of Freezer, Now What???
Decorating By MicheleH Updated 25 May 2007 , 7:47pm by MicheleH
I have a wedding for tommorro that I was supposed to decorate for today. I have already made the cakes and they are all nice & wrapped in the freezer. I meant to get them out before I went to bed last night, but forgot!!!! Now what? Can I go ahead and ice and decorate while still partially frozen? I'm using 1/2 crisco 1/2 butter buttercream, and putting non-edible strings of pearls on them.
I also just remembered that I didn't make the pudding to go between the layers!! I have a sitter for my 3 little ones this morning so I could work on cakes in peace, but she can only watch until 2:00!
I could kick myself for being so tired that I loose my mind!!!!!!!!
Anyone have any suggestions?
...It will work out..... just don't panic.....
I frost all of my cakes while they are still frozen. I unwrap them, torte them, fill them, and then put a crumb coat on. I then let them come to room temperature in case they decide to "sweat" which rarely happens....then I put on a final coat and begin to smooth. I also use the 1/2 and 1/2 recipe, so I think you should be fine! HTH!
Just an update. It took me only about 4 hours to complete the wedding cake. I don't know why I got so panicky!!! I don't normally freeze unless I have too much to do at once. It sometimes seems like more work!! Thanks for all your help & comments! Hopefully tommorro's delivery and set up will go just as smooth!!!
