Decorating By Smiller94 Updated 23 Aug 2012 , 12:51am by QTCakes1
I am doing all my baking for the wedding cake I am doing for my brother on Labor day weekend and freezing them for a few days. I am leaving for Dallas which is 6 hours away on Wednesday, crumb coat early Thursday, ice all cakes Thursday/Friday and decorate Friday for a Saturday evening wedding. does this time frame seem okay? I am making WASC cake with crusting buttercream.
thanks for the help
this is the time frame plan I have come up with , does this seem okay
Weekend 8/25th Bake /Freeze
Weekend 9/1 Bake Freeze
Wednesday 9/5 Travel to Dallas, 6 hour drive with Frozen cakes
- make Icing
- Torte, level, fill
- fridge cakes to settle overnight
Thursday 9/6
- Put Icing on all cakes
- Fridge cakes overnight
Friday 9/7
- Finish icing cakes
- Friday night, stack all cakes
Saturday 9/8 Wedding day
- Decorate , Deliver
This cake in the end will be a 8, 10, 12, 14" square cake with a 16" Dummy bottom tier.
I honestly do not like decorating day of. I might finish off some details, but I am not doing complete decorating. Things can go wrong and you may not have time to fix. Here is my typical schedule:
1st day: bake
2nd day: fill, frost, crumbcoat, final coat
3rd day: decorate
4th day: finish any details if any left, deliver

This is the same schedule I was planning on using next week, I was just unsure if the cake would still be fresh for the 4th day?
I'm not sure what type of cake your making, scratch or mix or even what type of scrtach cake, but it should be fine.
