if you do it that way  you want to thaw it in the refrigerator

Yep....top "anniversary" tiers and frozen all the time...and kept if the freezer for a year!

 

I'm doing the same thing next month for my son's wedding because I am traveling 6 hours.  I'm going to ice and freeze each tier a few days before leaving.

I helped a user over at CD a while ago where she had the cake completely finished and then the client postponed the event a month.  She froze the finished cake and had very little problems.  The thread can be found here.

I have only traveled with a 4-tier cake one time and my BIL carried it for me.  I only want to travel with what I personally can handle...so I have been not doing 4 tier cakes.   I have 3 of them in September where the bride wants to keep the top tier...so I am freezing it and traveling with the 3 tier assembled...that I am used to doing..and putting the top tier on when I get to the venue.  I hate the thought of assembling onsite..I have never done it.   I figured with the 6" being frozen, I can handle it better.  99% of my wedding cakes are butter cream.
