I just took my cakes out of the oven and I want to freeze them to decorate Wednesday night. I'm not sure what I am supposed to do.

Am I supposed to cool, then level then wrap and freeze. Then torte, fill, and crumb coat; freeze again. Then thaw them out to ice and decorate??

I have read several things on doing this but get lost with all the adendums.

You have lots of options. Just do the one that works best for you.

If I'm going to freeze, I let them cool then wrap in saran and put in the freezer. Pull them out the day I'm going to work on them, let them slightly thaw (a couple of hours, maybe), then crumb coat and ice.

I always freeze my cakes. I think it locks in moisture into the cake to make it nice and moist. After the cakes have cooled, I tort them and then freeze them with saran wrap and then foil. I take them out the day the cake is being decorated. Thaw them, fill them and decorate.

I bake, cool, torte, wrap in plastic film and put them inthe freezer. I do have a freezer just for cakes.
