I really want to help my friend with her daughter's first birthday. I will be out of town that weekend. icon_cry.gif My question is can I make the cake, decorate with basic buttercream and a few decorations freeze that cake and give it to her? Will that work? Will the buttercream make the cake soggy as it thaws? I really want to do this for her so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

It will be fine. Food wholesalers ship frozen cakes to stores all the time that are pre-decorated. It might sweat or show condensation for a while, but that's normal.

Keep the cake covered and place on counter to thaw. Don't uncover until thawed out...works better with the condensation.

I have done this many times but you must try to keep the color down to a minimum. The white will be just fine but the color frosting has a tendency to bleed and show sweat spots. And dont freeze fondant if you want it to hold a shape cuz it will fall when it thaws.

Thanks for the tip, there is no plan yet for the cake so I have no idea on color or anything, knowing this tip certainly helps the planning process, thanks!.
