How long do you usually thaw before decorating?
I thaw for a few hours. First, with the foil on for about an hour and a half. Then with only the plastic wrap until I’m ready to start decorating. Thanks for watching!
I use to work in a bakery as a stocker and do inventory. Everything came in frozen and when they would get cake orders they would just pull out the sheet cakes/cupcakes from the walk-in freezer and then decorate. When it was slow I volunteered to help the cake decorators and learned how to decorate. I was a single mom of 5 boys, so I bought supplies here and there. I did lots of practice at home as well. My boss started giving me overtime when someone was out sick or took vacation. I had a major hand surgery that went wrong and have no use of my hand. I miss decorating…it’s been 7 years. I think I am going to attempt it just to see if I can learn to do it one handed. It has been quite debilitating, depressing and decorating gave me joy to share with others.
Very thorough!! Thanks. Following you ❤🙏🏼

@@AsiaCoffee No problem
Hi , love your videos they have been helping me so much ! I’m a beginner learning to make cakes for my children’s birthday parties . I was wondering if I’m going to use my cake in 1-2 days after baking them can I store them in the fridge instead of freezer? Also after decorating the cake I can store in the fridge to eat the next day ? Or do you recommend for me to decorate it the day of ?
Answers to your first two questions are “yes”. Just make sure to wrap the cakes tight if they’re going to the fridge; they’ll dry out otherwise. I would not bake and decorate on the same day; personally that’s too stressful. Pace yourself… Thanks for watching! 💕
Thank you for the video!! I wanted to know what the defrosting method would be once taken out of the freezer and do the cakes still taste moist and fresh? Also how long do they last once defrosted?
First, I remove the cakes from the deep freezer and sit them on the counter for about an hour WITH the foil and plastic still on. Then, I remove the foil and allow the cake to thaw completely for another couple of hours. I have kept cake frozen in my deep freezer for up to 3 months, and it tastes fantastic and is very moist (thanks to ice crystals)!
Hello after thawing the frozen cake do I need to put or brush simple syrup on the cake ? Thank you God Bless 😊
Yes, you can! It’s optional, but I highly recommend it. 😉
New sub, like these videos their very helpful
Hi! Let’s say i make a cake a day before decorating and decide to freeze it for a day. Do you recommend letting it thaw for one whole day or i could thaw it and decorate the same day?
You can thaw it and decorate it all in one day! If you need to store it overnight, just make sure that you wrap it up in plastic wrap. No need to refrigerate or freeze it. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee Will it loose moisture if I don’t freeze it or will the plastic wrap keep it safe?
@@tillynial474 The plastic wrap will hold the moisture! If you’re still worried that your cake will be dry, you can add simple syrup to it. Watch my “simple syrup” video and “moist box mix” video. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your cake!
@@AsiaCoffee Thank you so much you’ve been a great help!
Do you simple syrup the cakes after taking it out the freezer do they taste different after 2 months if wrapped properly?
No, I wait until the cakes are completely thawed before applying simple syrup. I’ve stored cake for about 3 months and hadn’t tasted a difference. Thanks for watching! 💕
@@AsiaCoffee thank you!
Shall i cover with alluminium foil in replace with Plastic??
I don't understand the question. Can you rephrase it?
For the cake one for the cake pops. Can it freeze overnight?
Yes, but there’s no point to taking the time to prep and freeze cake overnight only to use the next day; especially not for cake pops since you’re mixing icing with the cake crumbs. You can wrap the cake and store it at room temp until the next day if you’re planning to make came pops. Thanks for watching!
How much days i kept a cake in fridge with cling wrap?
I recommend storing in a freezer; not a refrigerator.
If we have store layer cake without decorating with sheet and aluminium as you said, then for how many days it will be last long?
I would only leave the cake wrapped and at room temperature undecorated for 2 days at the longest. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee ok mam.
Hi I’m making cake pops to sell on Sunday. I am not sure if I bake them 2 days ahead and freeze them, I don’t want it to have that freezer taste. What should I do
Watch this first: ua-cam.com/video/gwK0bQKui0c/v-deo.html! It’s ok to freeze CAKE for the cake pops for a couple of days. Wrapping it in plastic wrap then covering it with aluminum foil will prevent freezer burn, though I highly doubt that the cake will taste funny from being in the freezer for a couple days.
Don’t freeze your cake pops though! You run the risk of cracking your candy coating. Best of luck!
Today's Is Monday and I need to make a cake and a dozen cupcakes for Tuesday would I freeze, refrigerate, or leave on the counter wrapped. And if I do freeze or refrigerate cake and cupcakes how long do I leave it in the freezer/refrigerator? And once I take them out can I start frosting them or do I wait for them to thaw?
Sounds like only 24 hours… I would leave them wrapped up on the counter. Thanks for watching!
@@AsiaCoffee can you make a video on how to frost your cake I made a cake and made buttercream but when I went to frost my cake for the crumb coat the butter cream was kinda thick and when trying to spread it would pull and rip at the cake and then it become runny like the buttercream began to melt off my cake it was a mess also once done doing the crumb coat do we put in fridge or freezer also before using buttercream do we let it sit out on the counter top or do we need to refrigerate before use.
@@isaurasanchez4461 I have just the video for you: ua-cam.com/video/SkaHjJtn5HM/v-deo.html! Make sure that your icing isn’t too thick; really important…. Best of luck on your next cake! 💕
@@AsiaCoffee thank you so much🙂🤞🏼
Is it best to put simple syrup on your cakes before freezing them
I always apply the syrup once the cakes have thawed and right before they’re assembled/layered. This helped to really seal in the moisture! Thanks for watching 💕
If i am storing cupcakes to use after 3 days should i freeze, refrigerate, or store in an airtight container at room temp?
Great question! I would definitely freeze them in this case. Thanks for watching!
Would a Ziploc bag work for freezing cupcakes?
The KEY with freezing is to try to create an airtight arrangement. If you’re using ziplock bags for cupcakes, I would wrap those cupcakes in plastic wrap first, then place them in the ziplock bag. Make sure you get as much air out of the ziplock as possible!
How long do you leave it out for?
I allow the cakes to thaw in the foil for about and hour then without the foil for another hour and a half or so. Cupcakes thaw in about 30 minutes. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
How much time to keep the cakes in clean plastic wrap!?
Like I kept it overnight and half day for next day
I could smell the flavour of cake degraded and got into actually cake
So, what I hear you say is that the smell from the plastic wrap worked itself into your cake in less than 48 hours, right? This is NOT what typically happens, and I’m so sorry that you’ve experienced this. I’ve never had an issue using plastic cling wrap, so I’ll let others weigh in on this. Where are you in the world?
I want to decorate and cut the cake after 2 days should i freeze it or refrigerate it?
Refrigerate it. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your cake!
@@AsiaCoffee thanks a lot!!
Hey I though to baked the cake tomorrow by 22 then decoration on 22 and give away the order on 24 will it be okay if I decoration it on 23 leave it for till 24 night . please do reply
Yes, your cake should be fine on this schedule. Be sure to refrigerate your cake as needed! Best of luck!
Hello nice video! Where did you get the cupcake container?
I buy my cupcake containers online from Bake Deco. Thanks for watching!
How do thaw the cupcakes? Do keep them in the containers
Yes, thaw the cupcakes in the container. I keep the lid on until I'm ready to decorate!
how many month did you keep on freeze?
No more than 3 months in a refrigerator freezer and no more than 6 months in a deep freezer.
Hie.. for how long can we store baked chocolate sponge???
How long are you thinking about storing it?
Just a week or 5 days ...
I have an order of muffins around 100 pcs. Delivery is next month. How can I store them.
I would recommend grabbing plastic muffin containers and wrapping/storing them as I showed with the cupcakes. Best of luck with your muffins and thanks for watching!
Hey! I wanted to know that for how many can I keep them
Can I keep them for 4 days...
Plz tell me it's urgent...
Oh yes! You can keep them in the freezer for way longer than 4 days. Thanks for watching and best of luck on your project!
Can I make a cake and place it in the fridge to decorate after a couple of days and can I store a complete decorated cake for a day?
If you won’t be able to get to the cake layers for a couple of days, I recommend that you freeze them instead of refrigerate them. Yes, you can store a completely decorated cake for day (even longer) in the refrigerator. Thanks for watching!
I would like to know why the cupcakes need to be frozen?
They don’t need to be frozen at all.
The video is informational to let people know that cupcakes can in fact be frozen as necessary. This would be beneficial to someone who’s making several dozens of cupcakes and want to pace themselves instead of spending all night and day making them right before they’re needed.
Thanks for watching!
Can I also freeze a frosted cake?
Yes, you can! It’s easier if it’s just iced and not decorated. You would need to sit it in the freezer for a few hours to set it. Once set, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap then aluminum foil and place it back into the freezer or deep freezer!
@@AsiaCoffee thank you so much 🤗
After freezer how to remove cakes that you have not mentioned
The answer is in the comments. Thanks for watching! 💕
what if i dont have cling wrap? what can i use to cover my cake instead?
You just need to provide 2 layers of protection for your cake. If you don’t have cling wrap, you can use two layers of aluminum foil or wrap the cake in 1 layer of aluminum foil and place it into an airtight container before storing in the freezer!
I just wrapped mines in foil and stuck it in a sealable plastic container
I'm making 50 cupcakes, I can't freeze that many till Saturday. Today is Tuesday. I don't have anough space. What do I do?
Two options: Bake and freeze half of the cupcakes ahead of time and then bake the other half the night before or that morning OR wait and bake them all the night before. 👍🏽
@@AsiaCoffee yes! That's what I was going to do :) Nice idea cutting the backing in half. So I'll make the icing first then baking? Thank you!!!
Hai dear, why the cupcake doesn't cover with aluminum foil like the layer cake? If i freeze cupcake/layer cake with airtight container, it is need to cover again with aluminum foil?? Or Plastic warp?? Thx
The key is to provide 2 layers of protection against freezer burn and smells seeping into your cake and cupcakes. The cupcakes are stored more securely in the plastic containers. Wrapping the containers in plastic is the second layer of protection.
The cake layers can be wrapped more tightly because they’re using trimmed/leveled before decorating. This isn’t the case with cupcakes. Help this helps! 💕
Has anyone ever experienced letting them sit on counter for next day use and they have a sticky top just a little the next day? 🫣
Are you thawing them from being frozen overnight or are you covering them in plastic wrap and letting them sit on the counter for next day use; no freezing? If the latter, that’s perfectly normal! That’s why we leave the cakes un-leveled then cut off the sticky tops. 😉
Yes I make sure I let them totally cool then wrap and put in a sealed container I never could find out why they always did that lol thank you so much for replying and your videos are so helpful!! 💓💓
@alexisortega8357 There’s liquids and oils in your cake layers, and wrapping them seals that environment. It’s totally normal for the moisture to migrate from the cake a bit when it’s left wrapped at room temp. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 💕
