If I thaw cakes, and the assemble the cake with filling and frosting, can I then freeze the cake again? I know with meat your not suppose to thaw and freeze again. Does the same rule apply to cake?
I have frozen cake layers prior to assembling and then if I have any leftovers from the final cake I refreeze individual slices. When I eat the refrozen slices they taste just as good, if not better than the first time around. So all that to say yes you can refreeze cakes :) But if you are concerned about taste you could always make a practice cake to see how things turn out.
i was surprised but i learned in servsafe training you can actually refreeze meat too if it's been kept in the 30 degree range -- if it thaws properly -- you can refreeze it from that point --
so yes for cake like freckles said -- no worries
I've refrozen cakes that I don't care about---leftovers, cut slices, family stuff--but I never refreeze finished cakes for clients. I don't like the texture of refrozen cakes. It may be my recipe, but I think they are too wet and therefore mushy.
If I know that a client will be freezing a cake, then I make sure not to freeze the layers before decorating.
I’ve been using WASC and chocolate WASC recipes.
I see nothing wrong with refreezing. But...........do take into consideration that for the most part a cake is considered 'fresh' up to 72 to 84 hrs (3-4 days). That includes any & all time spent at room temp & in the frig from the time it coumes out of the oven untill it is eaten. Fzing stops the progression of that time.
