I am doing a cake for june 2,07 how far ahead can I start to bake the cakes ,I have a extra ref. to keep them in. ?

Baked, iced and decorated my daughter's shower cake on Thursday for a Sat shower....tasted great. I even had a leftover piece the following wednesday .... 7 days later ..... and it was still great.

that would sure help. I am putting a filling in each cake so I thought each one should be kept in the ref. This makes doing such a big cake easier
I am doing a 14,12,10,8,6 inch with filling of Rasberry.
this is going to be a stacked cake and I thought I would take each level to the hall and then put it together . Does this seem right?

I always assemble on-site. I never transport a cake assembled in any way. So it sounds ok to me!

I start baking and making my icing up to 7 days before the cake is due. I let cool for about an hour after out of the pan and then wrap in plastic wrap and set on a pan inthe freezer until hard. Take out about 30 mins before I'm ready to ice then i'm good to go.

I start my icing while my cakes are baking or the day after and let it sit for a couple days if I need to. Otherwise if it is a smaller cake I just make the day of.
