Is it possible to freeze cake

Delicate meringue-based frostings will not freeze well, but buttercream and cream cheese frostings will freeze nicely. To freeze a frosted cake, place the cake, uncovered, in the freezer for an hour.

Once the frosting is frozen and firm, wrap the cake in two layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil.

Thaw a frozen frosted cake by letting it warm up on the counter or in the refrigerator. For those looking for a small treat now and then, you might want to consider freezing slices. You can wrap each piece up alone or put them on small plates, layer with plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil.

As always, be sure and identify the cake and date the package. Expect a dryer texture and muted taste. Cake will last up to three months in the freezer. But the universal law of freezing applies here as well: the longer you freeze it, the duller it gets.

It's better to freeze a cake one week before your event than, say, two months in advance. Remove your cake, frosted or unfrosted, from the freezer and transfer it to the fridge the day before you want to serve it. Don't unwrap your cake just yet — as your cake thaws, it will remove moisture in the form of condensation.

Those water droplets have to go somewhere, and if you defrost an unwrapped cake you'll end up with a soggy cake. So despite the temptation, leave the wrapping on and let that water stick to it instead.

Your cake will take at least eight hours to thaw in the refrigerator. Then you can unwrap your cake and serve. It depends on the batter. Butter or oil-based cake batter can be frozen and will last for up to three months in the freezer. Cake batter that leavens with egg whites, like angel food cake and chiffon cake, is too delicate to withstand the freezer. Batters that use ingredients such as vinegar to lift will not perform after being defrosted.

If you see moisture on the cake, carefully blot it with a clean paper towel. You might hit on the idea of frosting the cake while it's still frozen. The problem here is that leveling and trimming are very difficult to do when the cake is rock hard. And even so, your frosting will harden up when it comes into contact with the frozen cake, making spreading it difficult.

After 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature, your cake is ready to level, stack and decorate. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

Develop and improve products. Generally it is best not to freeze an iced cake but in emergency situations — you can.

Here's my guide. If the cake has decorations — try to remove these store them in a cardboard cake box at cool room temperature. When you thaw the cake, colours can run and things like butterflies, the wings will collapse.
