I am doing a wedding cake in early September. The actual cake will be done day before wedding, but they also ordered 6 kitchen cakes. Cakes will be 11x15x4 white almond sour cream with raspberry cream filling and buttercream icing. I would love to do these cakes ahead and freeze. Can this be done and still have cakes that taste good? I need to do this because of oven space and to keep from being so rushed the day before wedding. I would complete cake box and wrap. Has anyone done this. Thanks of your help. ![]()

You can definitely freeze the cake and have it still be good. I've never frozen cake with filling in it, but when I freeze cake I wrap it in seran wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil, just to make sure it's sealed. It comes out nicely. I think I had one in my freezer for about two mos and when it came out it was nice and moist. Sorry, that's all the help I can give.
Yes, I freeze them all the time. Never have filled and froze though. You could freeze them well in advance. Thaw 2 days ahead still wrapped. Make your fillings a week ahead and all your icing a week ahead. I find if everything is made and thawed then it's just a matter of constructing, filling and icing. Just have everything ready and you can do it all the day before. You'll be just fine. Just have all your "ducks in a row" . PM me with any other questions. Good luck. ![]()
Thank you all so much. This filling is just raspberry jelly mixed with buttercream icing. I think I will make all ahead and assemble the day before.
Thanks again I knew I could count on ya'll for help ![]()

I freeze all the time. Earllier this year I did an experiment. I had stacked and filled a cake and then found out the wedding was cancelled. Wrapped it up and stuck it in the freezer. I just pushed it around my freezer for 10 months. Yeah, oh well. So I went to a party with a fresh cake in the same flavor and the defrosted and freshly decorated 10 month old one. I told everyone it was an experiment and that it wouldn't hurt them, but I wanted to see what the difference was between the two cakes.
Difference = no difference at all. Couldn't tell any difference. None.
I have frosted and filled many wedding cakes. Due to the distance that I have delivered them up to 3 hours away in September. I have never had a complaint. I learned this when working a private bakery, the gal that owned the bakery would do this all the time for convience and delivery distance.
