I have a baby shower cake due the 7th of november and just found out last night that I'm required to work from the 25th-nov6th!!!
Now, I'm trying not to panic
))
I'm baking a pregnancy belly cake and I'm also throwing in some lovely cupcakes; she's a friend of mine
So my question is, can I freeze the cakes & cupcakes and for how long? Now she gave me a recipe that she wants me to make so hey I'm not sure. Anyone who can help, please do so! thank-you graciesj
I am not sure if you can freeze this recipe, but what I would do is make the recipe as a try out. This would let you know if you can carve, what it tastes like, texture, is it moist, ect. Then you could freeze a few days, thaw it, and see the results. Good lu ck!!

I've decided to bake my son's school a Halloween themed cake, so yes I do have an opportunity to pre-bake and find out exactly how it is! thank-you again for your input
thank-you, would you mind sharing your wrapping technique? thx again
I wrap in plastic wrap, then wrap again in plastic wrap, then wrap again in plastic wrap. THEN, I wrap it once more in plastic wrap or foil. Make sure it is airtight! Overkill? Maybe, but this method has never failed to produce a beautiful, moist cake!

thank-you sooooo much))))) I can go to bed now)))) you're a sweet heartgsj 
I just wrap it in one layer of wrap or a zip lock or storage container, depending on the size of cakes or number of cuppies. On the Wilton site they did a test and froze some cakes with no wrap and they thawed fine and moist. So if you want to do multiple layers, go ahead, but it really isn't necessary. Think about all the things frozen in a store, there is only a single layer of plastic or cardboard for most items, including cakes and pies and they are frozen way longer than you will be freezing your cake.
I just wrap mine in plastic wrap but I just give it a good wrap once around and then in the freezer. I don't overwrap and I have people tell me all the time that they can tell that it is a freshly baked cake and so moist. I don't dare tell them it has been in the freezer for a while!!! I love it! Used to wrap a layer of foil but it would always "dent" up my cake layer so I blew that off and just use saran.

I was watching Cake Boss the one day and I noticed that the cake layer they take out of the freezer are never wrapped but then again I don't think they cakes freeze for long periods.

Okay so, the question still remains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO FREEZE OR NOT TO FREEZE???????????????
I'M CONFUSED NOW
(((((((((((
do you wrap the cake after it has completly cooled, or while it is still slightly warm? I have heard both.
