I've been trying to find time to practice more decorating but just havn't found the time.
I've read on here that some of you freeze your cakes and/or icing til needed.
What's the longest you can leave a cake frozen? What's the longest you can leave frosting frozen?
How much time in advance do you usually take the cake/icing out of the freezer to thaw?
Sorry for all the questions but baking, making frosting and decorating all in one day just leave me sore and miserable...though I usually have a good looking cake afterward ![]()
What's the longest you can leave a cake frozen? months
What's the longest you can leave frosting frozen? months
How much time in advance do you usually take the cake/icing out of the freezer to thaw? The day before to the fridge then the counter the day of.
I had a finished cake that lived in the freezer a month - still wonderful when we ate it!
I have not frozen cakes yet so can't help there but I have frozen buttercream frosting and it lasts for weeks though I must add that it's just the small quantities of different colours that are frozen for more than a month but they still taste really good.
Normally I take out my frosting about 2-3 hours before decorating but that's on a hot day. In winter usually about 6 hours before.
So I've been throwing away my colored icing all this time for nothing? ![]()
Thanks CC mate for great advice! I'll be freezing my colored icings from now on!!!!!
