My good friend needs a graduation cake for her exchange student the week I will be on vacation she really want me to make it is there anyway I can make it and freeze it and it won't run and it will look like I just made it?
i have done this but rarely -- although lots of peeps do this freezing of decorated cake -- package well and thaw slowly over a day or two -- should be fine -- no pastillage decor -- limited japanese string work -- no royal icing -- should be fine
Don't freeze the layers right after baking so that you can follow the "1 freeze" rule. This keeps the texture of the cake like fresh made.
Box the completed cake in cardboard box. Wrap the box in a few layers of saran wrap and a layer of foil. Freeze. 24 hrs. b/4 serving, place the still wrapped box in the refrigerator to defrost. Several hours before serving, place the wrapped box on the counter to come to room temp--out of direct light and heat. Any condensation will go to the box. Right before display/serving, remove cake from box. It will look & taste freshly made.
You can freeze a completely decorated, fondant covered cake if you follow my directions exactly. That is how these fondant covered, decorated cakes were handled, some frozen over 2 weeks after completion.
You're seeing pictures AFTER they were thawed.

Did you have any problems with the black flower fondants bleeding onto the white ?? or did you place and decorate with the flowers after you defrosted ??
