Kakeladi thank you so much for your help! It will be a chocolate buttercream....no fondant. After it thaws can I wait a few days until I serve it? I have to travel with this cake for a wedding shower in my home state. I want to make my cake at my house and freeze it then just bring it with me so I don't have to bake and decorate "on the road". I will be leaving on Thursday but won't be serving the cake until Sunday afternoon. Will it be ok in the fridge until then (I'm sure it will thaw in the car on the car ride)? Thanks! 
I know you can freeze a decorated cake but I have the same scenario coming up in June...could you let me know how things go I personally think it will be ok just put in fridge when you get to your destination
In my experience, cakes with strawberrys tend to take longer to thaw. I did a cake last summer for a client that I froze ahead of time, because she was going to be driving it in the car for 3 hours without a cooler (was a 3 tier cake). She said that they still didn't eat the cake for a few hours, so it had been 6+ hours before they atarted to cut. The tier with the strawberries was STILL partially frozen. If I remember sorrectly iit was a 10 or 12 inch round. Hope that helps 
I have actually frozen cakes covered in fondant and they come out as perfect and fresh as when they were originally done. My only hitch was that the cake went to a very hot, humid place and it sweated. I have driven with cakes 3-4 hours, although the heat was kept off in the vehicle. I boxed it up and put it in a cooler.
You'll get some sweating regardless of buttercream or fondant. Trick is to let it get finished sweating before putting it out for display.
