Decorating By noosie Updated 10 Aug 2009 , 5:41pm by pursuing_perfection
Hey guys! I asked about freezing cakes in a previous forum and got some great tips. Here is my new dilemma. I've baked the cakes and froze them today but need to transport them on Tues. for a 4-5 hour trip. I plan to put them in cooler with ice but I am worried they will thaw during the trip. If they do thaw can I refreeze them once I arrive at my destination???? I will be using them on Friday to make a cake for Saturday afternoon.
Any help, tips, advice will be more than appreciated!!!!
Really stressing 
TIA
refreezing does bad things to the texture (generally - maybe some cakes do better than others).
in the uk, supermarkets have a rule of a max 30 minutes for frozen food sitting out the freezer - then it has started to defrost, the quality is affected, and im sure bacteria come into it too.
most akes would be fine sitting out for 4 days, properly covered, so it might be better doing that.

I have frozen cakes, decorated them and then frozen them again. I have not found it to negatively affect the taste of the cake. If anything, the cake seems to be more moist.
If this is a "paying" job, then double-check food regulations. If not, then stop stressing - it should be fine! (Especially since it is not decorated yet).
If you are really concerned, then put the cake(s) into Tupperware (or other leak-proof containers) and pack ice all around and over them. The less air pockets the better. If you do not have a cooler big enough, use a large Rubbermaid Tote, and wrap it in a heavy blanket or two after you've packed the cakes and ice.
