Will A Monday Cake Stay Fresh For Friday?
Decorating By therealmrsriley Updated 17 Jun 2013 , 5:38pm by nannycook
Hello all, I have a wedding on Friday and I've already baked and froze most of the tiers except the bottom tier which is the biggest....so big it doesn't fit in my freezer. I baked this tier on Monday night and plastic wrapped it very tightly. Will this cake remain fresh for Friday? I haven't put it in the refrigerator, although it will fit, but I was concerned that the fridge would dry it out. My gut says I'm good leaving out and plastic wrapped, but just wanted a second opinion. Thanks in advance.
Yes it should be fine. I did a several cakes on a Friday for a Monday and they we're fine. but just make sure it's in cool place at room tempeture.....
I made this Friday night late it was picked up Monday for a Baby Shower on Tuesday!! It was great!!
Thanks CakeDiva, I figured I was good, but I just wanted some reassurance! :)
Sorry I don't mean to hijack your thread but as Leah is on and I always read her posts (Finally ordered sps btw and it's on the way - I'll let you know how it goes). Anyway, my question is will a cake from the freezer ganached on thursday, covered in fondant on friday be ok for sunday?
Yes.
i always ask myself when baking cakes would you pay for a cake that is 4 days old from a bakery....my answer is always no.....but that is just me...i try and bake my cakes no more than 2 days in advance if i cant get them into the freezer or fridge....unless it is a fruit cake and you have plenty of maturing time...butter cakes or sponge or pound cakes no more than 2 days for me...sorry but that is just me. i have had some baaaad cakes from people who bake them on mondays for friday or even the week end...i dont think it is fair to the customer and i also dont think it is fair to you if your cakes end up being dry....
it takes a long time to get a good name for your cakes but it only takes a couple of people with bad tasting or dry cakes to take that good name away.....good luck
I was told by family members who worked for major national bakery chains, that they baked and froze their cakes for up to 30 days before removing from the freezer. I could never do that, but Monday for Friday? Most definitely, especially if it a mud cake.
AI bake on Monday or Tuesday for Friday & Saturday. I fridge but don't freeze.
I wouldn't do it. If you can bake and freeze it for a couple of days, ok. But I would not just leave it out wrapped in plastic (even tightly). Or put it in the fridge.
That should be fine, Nanny - just wrap in plastic and stick it in the fridge until you're ready on Thursday.
