I have heard of people freezing cakes (undecorated), but have always been afraid to try. Does it dry them out or affect the taste? I have this wedding cake order for two days after Christmas (talk about bad timing!),and I have to make 10 cakes. I want to be able to relax Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so I'm hoping to get a head start and have it mostly done this week. Thanks!

Hi Melissa,

I freeze all of my cakes, including red velvet, before I torte, fill and decorate them. I thaw them and torte them while they are still cold but not frozen hard. In my opinion, it makes them moister and easier to work with. People have varying views on this so I am sure you will get various responses.

You can freeze your cakes up 6 mouth just just wrap them well. they will not dry up or loss taste. I have taste wedding cakes that have been frozen for a year and taste just as good.

I have done both...Freeze after cooling or cool, torte, crumb coat then freeze.....just wrap very well! Good Luck!!

I am the odd one out here....I can "taste" if a cake has been frozen - it is something I try very hard not to do. My friends have even done "taste tests" with me because they say I am nuts.....and I can pick out the ones that have been frozen everytime. (but then I can't taste the supposedly "chemical" taste in a mix....go figure)
