I have a delivery on Sunday and have to work Friday and Saturday...would it be ok to make my cakes today? If I do, should I wrap and place them in the fridge or freezer. Also, can I crumb coat it today, or would that be too soon? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
Absolutely you can bake and freeze today. I unwrap, fill, crumbcoat while they are still frozen (easier than dealing with a thawed cake which can have mooshy tops and the crumbcoat seals in the ice crystals and all that moisture!) then let my cakes come to room temp and settle for at least 3 hours before putting on the final coating of fondant or BC. This allows time for the gas/air to escape while it's coming to room temp as well as time to settle so you can smooth out any buldges from filling splooshing out. I usually bake on Monday, fill/crumbcoat on Thursday, decorate on Friday and Deliver on Saturday...no problems!
