Can You Freeze Unfrosted Cake

Can you freeze a cake and accept information technology taste just as fresh, moist, and delicious equally the day information technology was baked?

Would you believe me if I said freezing makes your cake even better than fresh? It's admittedly true. A properly wrapped cake can exist frozen for weeks or months, thawed, and taste even better than the day yous fabricated it. Equally long as you take the proper steps to protect your cake from freezer odors, your guests will rave about the quality of your cake, never suspecting that it was baked weeks or months ago. There are probably as many unlike methods for freezing cakes as there are bakers. There is no one correct way – this is just our way, and we've constitute it works!

Now, this advice is given with the assumption that your freezer is in good working order, and doesn't odor like fish. Ever place your cakes toward the back of the freezer where it's coldest, and try to minimize the number of times the door is opened and closed, and the length of time the door is held open. Those temperature fluctuations cause your frozen food to thaw a little, then freeze again. When you repeat this process over and over over again, it can degrade the quality of your food.

The freezer tin be your best friend when preparing cakes. If you have a large order and limited time or manpower, start baking a couple of weeks ahead of time. Wrap those precious layers and store them in your freezer, and y'all'll have a jump on the unabridged associates and decorating process.

Thawing it out

Thawing your layers is like shooting fish in a barrel because cake thaws really fast! All the same, the easiest manner I've constitute to thaw my layers is to remove them from the freezer the nighttime before I'm ready to decorate them, and exit them on the counter overnight. Information technology's of import to leave the cake fully wrapped while it thaws! Condensation will gather on your outer wrapping, and you want all that wet to stay outside your cake. When the condensation has disappeared, you volition know your layer has thawed. Depending on the size of the layer, this can take 2-four hours. This is why information technology's great to take them out of the freezer the night before, so you lot tin be admittedly certain they're prepare for you in the morn.
