I had some cakes in the freezer from last week. I pulled them out last night and let them sit wrapped in aluminum foil and saran wrap for a few hours and then put them in the fridge overnight, still wrapped. They are for a cake due on Thursday evening. Do I need to frost them today, or are they ok wrapped up till tomorrow?

I would worry about the refrigerator drying them out more than anything else. To be safe, I would ice them as soon as possible. Just make sure to let the condensation dry off them first or you risk icing blow-outs. Hope that helps.

thank you for the reply! I would imagine if I iced them today, they would be fine until thursday, right?

As long as they are wrapped, it shouldn't be an urgent concern to get them iced unless they were sitting out unwrapped in the open air (or refrigerator) drying out and getting stale.

ok great! I wanted to ice them today but my DH wants to go out to eat with a GC we got for Christmas .. I was hoping they would be safe to keep covered in the fridge till tomorrow!

I don't understand why they are in the refrigerator. Are they already filled with perishable filling? If not, get those babies out of the fridge!

I suggest taking out of the fridge, wrap really well and slide them inside of a garbage bag, squeeze out the air, and tie it up. They will stay as fresh as can be. sometimes i slide the wrapped cakes (individually) into a plastic grocery bag, squeeze air out and tie it up.

I learned the hard way that the fridge acts as a dehydrator on an uniced cake. I'd get my cake out of there. I would take a few minutes to get it filled and crumb coated and then it's safe for a couple days to sit on the counter (unless it's filled or iced with something that requires refrigeration). Good luck.

no, they are not filled withy anything, but I always keep my cakes in the fridge and almost every person who eats my cakes comment on how moist they are.
