So today I iced two tiers of cake with Chocolate crusting butter cream 1/2 butter 1/2 shortening. Just about an hour after getting the icing perfect the person cancels their order. I have a personal event that I have to make a 2 tier cake for for this Saturday. I’m wanting to use the one I already have iced so as not to waste it. The thing is it’s only Tuesday. That means it will sit for 5 long days. Can I freeze the fully iced cakes and then thaw and cover in fondant? Is yes then how? Would anyone recommend that I just keep it in the fridge instead of freezing it? I plan to cover in fondant in Thursday.

Yes! FREEZE!!!!! 

Pop it in and freeze solid. Then WRAP, WRAP, WRAP. Foil, saran wrap, whatever. Seal and be sure it is tight. Back in freezer.

Remove from freezer and remove wraps,  let thaw 30 mins and cover with fondant. The condensation will be ok with sticking fondant to adhere to the cake. Proceed as normal.

Thank you so much Johnson! I certainly didn’t want to throw all that perfectly good cake away!
