Sure can! Just make sure to wrap in a few layers of plastic wrap and let it thaw before you decorate it. I do it all the time and my cakes stay moist. Great time saver.

I do the same thing! I hate to get rushed and you never know what kind of emergency (with 4 kids) might come up!

I always freeze my layers at least a couple of days ahead if I can.

I wrapped them loosely in plastic wrap, put in the freezer to harden for several hours, them wrap them again tightly and securely. When ready to use take out and allow plenty of time for the layers to come to room temp before unwrapping them.

It takes a lot of pressure off you the day you have to start decorating.
