Do You Cool Your Cakes Before Crumb Coat?

I cool mine on the counter, cut them, wrap them, then put in fridge overnight.
Hi, I usually bake my cakes, let them cool down on the counter at least overnight and work with them from there on. I haven't had issues doing this before crumb coating but I will try your idea on cutting them in shape, wrap them and freeze them. Here is South Africa the weather is hot this time of year. After crumb coating I normally put them in the freezer just to let the butter cream icing to set before I use the fondand.
Thanks for that 'tip', I will try it out and see if it will work along with our type of weather.

Im also in South Africa and I let mine cool on the counter, cut, wrap and freeze until the next day. I find that this gives me a very sturdy cake to work with and virtually crumb free!
