There’s no better way to celebrate a special occasion than with a cake. However baking a cake can be inconveniently time-consuming especially when you’re trying to plan other aspects of a special event. The good news is that cakes freeze well so you can avoid the stress by doing your baking ahead of time and freezing your cake until you’re ready to decorate and serve it. Instead of having to fumble in the kitchen on the day of a big party you can rest assured that your dessert will be ready to go.

How to Freeze Cakes (and Why!)
While freezing a cake may seem as simple as putting it in the freezer there are a few things you should know before using this hack. For example certain types of frosting freeze better than others and a cake should be completely cooled before you put it in the freezer.
There are several ways to freeze a cake but keeping the individual layers unglazed and unassembled is probably the best method. This allows you to wrap the layers tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil which prevents freezer burn and preserves the moisture and flavor of the cake. Leaving your cake outside will dry it out so don’t be afraid to use multiple layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
For layered cakes you can store the layers on top of each other after wrapping them on a baking sheet or in a freezer-safe container. Don’t put the cake in the freezer until it’s completely cooled. A warm cake will cause condensation to form in the plastic wrap which will affect the taste and texture of the cake as the moisture freezes. The process is the same for loafs bundts or angel food cakes that don’t have separate layers.
