I am rather new to this and I have a delima. I am supposed to bake a cake for my nephew's birthday party on 8-13. I am wondering how far in advance I can bake the cake and keep it frozen. FYI... I am building a football stadium, so I am wanting to start early. Just not sure how to do that, and keep the quality good. 
Any help would be appreciated.
Freezing a cake is fine! Just make sure it's wrapped really well. When you're ready just pop it out of the freezer, and set it out on the counter for a few hours. Then unwrap and frost!
I also put a fresh box of baking soda in the fridge and freezer just in case.
If anyone was a sceptic of freezing cakes, it was me. But let me be the first to say, it works and it works great!! After baking, letting them cool completely (for a couple of hours and to let them settle), I wrap in saran wrap, then in aluminum foil. I freeze them on some old cookie sheets I have (I knew they'd come in handy for something eventually 
) ... when ready to use, I set the out on my snack bar, remove the aluminum foil and leave the saran wrap on them... when I come home from work, I remove the saran wrap and crumb coat... to me, they're even more moist then when you first baked them.. just make sure you do as Sugar suggested, put a fresh box of baking soda in your freezer and make sure you don't have onions, bell peppers, etc. in there that may give your cake their flavor .. good luck!! remember to post pics too 
I have a question....some bakerys around here do not freeze their cakes. That was one reason they gave me when I asked why I should choose them rather than publix.
They said places like grocery stores freeze their cakes and it is not fresh?!
why would they say that if freezing was okay? I have had publix cakes and they taste just a good as this bakery I have gone to.
please if someone could help me understand.
momoftwogirls, they might have meant that they get their cakes IN frozen, I know that's true in my area anyway. Freezing is just fine, but using mass-produced pre-made frozen-shipped cakes can affect the taste quite a lot. (I used to work at a grocery store bakery, so unfortunately I know from experience)

I'm sure they tell you that to get youe business. After all, I'm sure Publix gets A LOT more cake orders than the smaller bakeries do. . .
Think of it this way, they say that b/c if their cake is basically the same as the one the supermarket sells, it's easier to order it the week before when you're doing your groceries & then pick it up the day of the event when you're buying your last few items for the party. Make sense?
Also, if you like the way the one at the supermarket tastes, who cares if it's been frozen. If it tastes bad, then I'd complain. . .
