I've seen lots of different opinions on this. I personally like to stack and crumb coat while still frozen, less chance for breakage. icon_lol.gif Then I 'll let it sit for a little while 20 minutes to longer, depending on what kiddo wrangling I have to do icon_lol.gif , then frost!

Yeah, there are so many different ways of doing this...you kind of have to just find out what works for you.

If it's a smaller cake I usually thaw first before filling or icing

If I'm stacking large layers then I'll fill the cake while frozen, cover with saran wrap and let it thaw before icing. Otherwise the condensation can be a pain. If I'm doing a carved cake I usually stack and carve it frozen, then cover and thaw before icing/fondant.

Thank you so much for the advice on frozen cakes!! It will be trial and error. I'll try to level and stack them frozen...then frost later.

I have frosted them frozen or slightly thawed. It does take awhile sometimes for buttercream to crust this way-- sometimes even overnight. It is definitely easier to stack the layers this way, and sometimes you can get by without a crumbcoat.

If you torte and frost while frozen but are also using fondant, how long does it take the cakes to defrost in order to cover in fondant so it doesn't form condensation?
