AI am making a choc mud cake and a caramel mudcake for my step daughters wedding cake.

i have already made the cakes as i was told i can freeze them. Since i will be transporting them via a 2 hr plane trip in about a month i wanted to get them ganached and covered in fondant before i freeze them.

Can anyone tell me if I can do this or would that effect the cake when I defrosted Them ?

Thanks all

Yes you can freeze a cake iced in fondant.  Frozen fondant can develop moisture beads on the surface as it defrosts and so should be defrosted slowly in a cool, air-conditioned room and inside a cardboard box - not a sealed plastic container.  Also make sure the cakes are touched until dry as you'll leave fingerprints.

Personally, I would freeze the cakes uniced and defrost a day or 2 before travelling and ice then, but timing may be an issue for you...

AThank you so much ladies. Bluehue I love reading your responses. So detailed thank you . I have put them in the freezer and will ganache them tomorrow. I can do that when they are frozen can't i? And stick them back in before they defrost ? Bugger maybe I should get them out before they freeze

AOops too late they have partly frozen already. This cake has me so stressed

Can some one give me a time line for what I need to do and how long I need to allow lol

AThank u again for your help. Once I have ganached them how long can they last out of the freezer? The wedding isn't until may 4 th. I'm guessing they are like other food where you can't re freeze once they have been frozen to transport them ?
