Question:

Can I freeze a cake that has already been frosted and will it still be good when I thaw it in a week?

I mixed up my dates on a luncheon and I made a Halloween cake for this Wednesday and it is supposed to be for next WednesdayI worked really hard on it and it turned out really cuteIf I freeze it and thaw it next Tuesday will it still be good? Any tips on how to properly freeze it would be helpful alsoI can't think of a way to wrap it tightly since it is already frostedThanks for any help I can get!!!

Answer:

Select the cake wrappingThe cake must be protected from freezer condensation by using a moisture-proof wrappingSuggested wrappings include: greaseproof paper thoroughly covering the cake and taped aluminium foil, or aluminium foil and plastic wrap/greasproof paper underneath it plastic self-sealing bag placement of wrapped cake into a metallic tin if desired (protects the cakes from being knocked by other items, makes it very easy to find and provides added protection from moisture and freezer odours, such as seafood) Select the cake typeMost cakes will freeze well, even most iced cakesThings to consider are: Uniced cake: in general, uniced cakes are fine to freeze apart from those with little or no fatIced/frosted cake: most frostings are okay to freeze but avoid freezing icing/frosting that contains cream cheese, egg, fresh cream or boiled versions.[1]; candy frostings can freeze for about 4 weeks and buttercream frostings freeze very well for a couple of months.[2]
