Well, I learned my lesson. Get a deposit before you bake and prep the filling/frosting!!

Question:
Now that I have my first cancelled cake order and everything is ready to be assembled, is it okay to freeze it with a filling of Bettercreme and bavarian cream? I plan on finishing it later, but I was hoping serve it for my own son's first birthday Nov 12th.

Thanks! icon_mad.gif

Since nobody has answered this, I'm assuming Bettercreme is fine to freeze.

Last night I decided to use everything for the bottom tier of a topsy-turvy cake for my daughter's birthday Oct 31; the smash-cake that I already made (with the bavarian cream filling) will be used for my sons birthday Nov 12th.

Hopefully the cakes will still be good! Any opinions out there?

I don't really have an answer.

I know that my BC gets kinda goopy and just not looking well after it's been frozen. I tried. Won't do it again.

I've frozen assembled and decorated cakes before with no problems. Was the bavarian cream homemade or from a sleeve?
My cousin's daughter had a tradition for a while that I made her birthday cakes, since age 1. Her 7th birthday she wanted a scooby cake, but I couldn't drive out to Los Angeles that weekend, but the weekend before. I made and decorated the cake the weekend before with banana pudding and fresh banana tossed in lemon juice filling. (Can't disappoint a cute kid, can you? icon_wink.gif ) My cousin took it out the morning of the party and added the figurines and it was was fine. She said it tasted just as good as when they are fresh. I was more worried about the bright colors running, but no problem. Thank goodness it's rarely humid in January!

It's bavarian cream from a sleeve. I am freezing them in a crumb-coat state; I'll apply the fondant after they defrost.

Heck, we actually ate the top tier of our wedding on our first anniversary and it was just as yummy as our wedding day! icon_rolleyes.gif

Sleeve bavarian creme freezes fine. You cake will freeze fine. Just wrap it in a couple of layers of cellophane when it's firm, covered with a layer or two of aluminum foil. Just be sure to unwrap it before you defrost.
