Do you freeze your cake prior to crumb coating it or can you crumb coat it and then freeze it? How do you make sure it is fresh?

Yes you can freeze your cake before or after crumb coating. I froze my cakes for my 50th wedding Anniversary about four days before making it and it turned out so fresh and very moist. I had made three tiers of Red Velvet cakes. I didn't crumb coat them first. I wrapped them really good in saran wrap and then into a plastic zip lock bag. They were great. I have frozen a complete decorated cake or cakes before with all butter cream and they were fine. I noticed on the cake boss and some of the other cake TV shows that they also freeze some of there cakes. I would not freeze a fondant one tho. I hope this helps you, Nancy of Rialto CA
