Hi Everyone,

I've never used simple syrup before but I would like to, especially if I'm freezing a cake. Would you put the simple syrup before you freeze the cake or after, when you're ready to decorate it?

Thanks so much!

I'm interested to hear what people say on this...I froze a syruped cake recently and the syrup seemed to crystallize.

I would wait because most cakes get more moist after freezing, and you would need to adjust for that with a little less syrup.

I would add the simple syrup after you thaw the cake.

After freezing for the reason stated above. Also, you can warm the simple syrup to instantly defrost a cake. Well, not instantly, but to speed things up.
I use simple syrup on every cake.

Hey, Leah! Do you add flavors to your simple syrup? I've heard of adding vanilla, etc., but want to hear it from an 'expert' icon_biggrin.gif Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I think I will go ahead and thaw and then add syrup. I like that technique as well Leah, I may use the warm syrup.
Now since I've never done this before, do I add syrup to both sides of each layer (Inside and out)? Do you just brush it on, or drip it on?
I'm also very interested about the flavors as well. What flavors does everyone use?
