You have to bear with the newbie....
Is it a good idea to freeze your cakes before you decorate? Does it matter? Why would one freeze the cake (Other than for longer term storage)..
Thanks ![]()

Lots of people freeze their cakes because it makes them quite moist and they are easier to torte or carve that way. I like to get them out of the way. That way I don't feel so rushed when it's time to decorate. I just made 4 on Monday, and I will decorate them tomorrow.
Do you completely thaw before frosting though?
Wouldnt freezing the cake cause it to sweat, and ruin fondant?
Personally,I perfer to ice my cakes frozen or somewhat thawed. I've worked for two cake shops and they have both freeze their cakes and even perfer you to ice them frozen. I don't even bother crumb coating anymore because they are frozen. Though I have noticed that after an hour or so there will be some condensation building up on the icing and for fondant cakes too,its not alot but it seems to go away or dry up after you stick it in the fridge. Make sure you poke holes in your cake (and enough of them !) so your icing will not crack on the cake,this has helped me out at least. Good luck !
What do you mean by poke holes? In the cake itself? Why?
