Can I freeze my cakes?

Yes you can – they should last up to three months in the freezer – after that you might notice some drying due to freezing. To freeze your cake simply wrap it in four or five layers of cling film, or seal in a thick freezer bag.

When defrosting a cake, make sure it is thoroughly defrosted and at room temperature before decorating it – it is best to defrost it over night in its wrapping.

Iced cakes sometimes become a little soggy if allowed to defrost too quickly, so slow the process down by leaving them to thaw overnight in the fridge, before unwrapping and leaving on the kitchen surface to bring them up to room-temperature.
