How To Freeze Cakes (and Why!)

Can you freeze cupcakes to? And frost them while frozen?

I know this is a year old but hoping you might still look in your comments section and answer questions! I have agreed to making my friends daughters wedding cake next June. So, I have a while to practice but I am in no way a professional and have never frozen a cake. She wants a small two tiered cake with 100 small individual cakes, half chocolate, half white, raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. I think I am in way over my head! Was thinking to bake sheet cakes, freeze, next day cut out the individual cakes, fill with raspberry filling, crumb coat, then freeze them all again. So, a couple of things: will my cake dry out too much and affect flavor, if i freeze, assemble and freeze again? Also, thinking to just do little "naked" cakes, defrost the night before, bring to the venue and decorate the tops with fresh flowers, so again, because they sre "naked" and it is June, will they dry out too much? Not sure if there is a better way to do this or not, timing, procedure? Any help would greatly be appreciated!

You are a powerhouse...love your teaching...

You are so good.thank you so much ❤

If you crumbcoat them directly after taking them out of the freezer how to defrost them and for how long?

Brilliant thank you ❤

i thought she would cast a spell by the end

You just saved my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can you leave crumb coated cake in freezer for 1 week ?
And can you still freeze the cake if the layers have syrup ?

Very useful
Thank you so much 💕

Hi can we freeze the cakes which are decorated with butter icing and fondant figures ?

Can I keep in the fridge rather
Overnight

She said two months yuck lol !!! The audacity of paying $500 for a frozen cake lol !!!

Emily, I know this video is a year old and hoping you can answer a question for me. Have you frozen torted layers with fillings such as lemon curd? My next cake order is for lemon curd filling and I have to make 90 cupcakes so freezing would be so helpful. Thank you!

I'm pro using a freezer as part of baking, but those cakes aren't anywhere near wrapped enough

Is there a way to do this without so much plastic waste?

Will the simple syrup become crystallized if you put it in the cake before freezing?

Loud n clear ❤❤👏👏👏👍👍thank you

Your new friends sister. nice cake

Getting to know the art side of 🎂 time.

Is this the same with butter based cakes?

How long the cake can be in freeze for ?

On peut congeler aussi avec un gateau glacé a la creme au beurre meringue suisse ? Jai testé mais le gateau a un peu craqué. Le lissage est plus net avec la creme au beurre américaine apres décongélation

What about condensation? & does the recipe matter for freezing? Oil vs butter & the condensation making the buttercream unstick?

Hey! Love your cakes and videos. I’m looking for a vanilla cake I can use oil in instead of butter. Any suggestion’s? I also want to frost it with decorations

So im confused... do i need to take it out before frosting then or can i just frost and decorate the frozen layers?

It's the first time I am freezing sponge for my son's birthday cake.
I am a little apprehensive, will it be too dry😬

I assume take out at least 24 hrs before you need it?

Also your chocolate cake looks amazing, do you have a recipe?

Great to know. Thank you for the tips. May i ask can i frozen the cake after decorating with whipped cream? Will whipped cream works the same?

Will a frozen cake taste just like a fresh made cake?

If you use ganache while it's still frozen won't it set too quickly?

Hallo, i want to know is this method can be applied for butter cake and chiffon cake?

Thank you so much for e video
It's really helpful

I'm not a baker (and have never baked in my entire life) but I love watching your videos ^^ You give very clear instructions and you are so generous in sharing all of these things you learned throughout years of experience as a professional baker. I loooove your accent too <3

U re simply amazing with ur tutorials and it's been so helpful for beginners like me. Thank you British girl ❤️

Your pears look like balls.

Thank you for another helpful video! I am just wondering, if I freeze individual layers, can I then refreeze those same layers when the cake is fully decorated?

Hello. Nice tips. I forgot to dizzle my cake with syrup before freezing. Is it still possible to do it before I do the cream filling while the cake is still frozen?

I like the stacked way you freeze two layers in wrap at the same time. Thank you so much for the detailed steps to the three different stages at which you can freeze.

Excellent infomation! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing!

I love it. Now i know what to do so i wont to stressed myself

This is so much helpful So the one with just the cram coat ...how long can it stay in the freezer and whether or not I need to wrap it like the done one ?

What's temperature in freezer

If I bake a cake tomorrow and need it tomorrow can I still freeze it today and then put the frosting on it while frozen tomorrow ? Then allow it to thaw outside of the fridge ?

fantastic .. thx

Thank you for your baking videos. They are so helpful. But I have a question, when you freeze your crumb coated cake, for how long can it be kept frozen before frosting and decorating it? You didn’t give a specific amount of time.

Thank you so much for sharing, great help not wasting food☺️

wow this was such an amazing video. thank you so much for all the work you put into it, it did not go unappreciated

I have tried putting the cake in the refrigerator after the crumb coat, but I have noticed once I take it out and do the rest of the icing, water tends to come out from the cake. 😢 I live in a very warm and a humid country. May be this doesnt work when the temperature is high? I was searching a lot about this but couldn't find a good answer. Somebody told for a climate like where I am living we should onlyput the cake to refrigerate less than 15 minutes. Just wandering whether you have come across this scenario

Is there any way to avoid using the cling film? I was thinking about freezer paper between layers and store them in freezer ziploc. It's just a lot of cling film.
