Been freezing my cakes and then icing them while frozen for years. Huge time saver and the cakes are always moist and the taste is great.
Yessss! So happy to hear that!
It’s kinda like when you make spaghetti. It always tastes better the second day because the flavors marry and become richer. Perfection!
Wanted to ask how long do u put your cake in the fridge and once u iced it how long do u leave to thaw
Do you let it cool first ? or Do wrap it and put it straight in the freezer

@@BritishGirlBakes I think it's important to give you feedback, and hope that others give you encouragement to continue making videos!! 🤗
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.
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful!

😂
Great video with quick relevant info, thank you. What are your thoughts on freezing sugarpaste covered cakes please? Obviously sugarpaste cakes and decorations aren’t good on the fridge without wrapping very securely, as they’ll sweat and the sugarpaste/gumpaste decorations will sweat/deteriorate/lose structure. xx
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?
Wow that is super helpful, thank you!!!
Yay! I'm so glad!
Thanx again for this tutorial. I have been doing cakes for just 4 months and not daily. I can make like 2 cakes in a month but people think of me as a pro who has been doing this for some time yet it's just because of your tutorials. They have been the best tool for my cake journey. God keep blessing you with all things good even more than you can ever imagine for helping people like me be better at what they do. Plus your tutorials are very realistic. "I don't know how many times I'll say that."
Your videos are by far the best!
Wow, thank you so much!

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?
Thank you so much.🥰 Needed to learn this so I balance my business and work.
That's a great reason :)
Really helpful
This is great as I love having cake on hand but rarely time to bake it.
It's such a long process to make a cake from start to finish in one day, isn't it?
You are so good.thank you so much ❤
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
Thank you so much for e video
It's really helpful
I'm so glad it's helpful!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
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.
Really your videos are informative. I like your information . Tq so much
Thank you so much 🙂
Brilliant thank you ❤

Hiya I just wanted to ask I made the cake today and I want to decorate it tomorrow. can I leave it outside on the kitchen table overnight or shall I put the cake in the fridge.Thank youx
Great tip thank you.
I'm glad it was helpful!
thanksss so much
Awesome!!!!
Thanks!!
This is a great tutorial❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the useful suggestions.does this work on whipped cream especially covering with cling wrap after the final decorationg the cake
I haven't tried it with whipped cream. The reason it works with buttercream is that buttercream frosting sets and gets very firm when it's frozen, so the cling wrap won't damage the frosting. If your whipped cream frosting gets firm in the freezer too then yes, it will work!
Very informative 👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you so much..
Hi there. Your tutorial is amazing. God bless you❤
Thank you! 😊
Yup loved this video
Yay! Thanks!
What temperature setting is good for freezing the cakes ?
You just saved my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Danke für deine Tipps!👍
Bitte schon!
thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi there, I found this tutorial really useful thank you. I was hoping you might be able to offer some advice on a project I need to do. I am very time poor but the cake I want to do is complicated. I was hoping I could do it in stages and only have to do the final decorations on the day. Is it possible to: put a cake back in the freezer after doing the final frosting and take it out to thaw and add the final finishing touches? I’d have to make each layer separately and freeze them, then take it out to buttercream between layers and crumb coat. Put it back in the freezer and then take it out to finish frosting before putting it back in freezer until the day. Is this possible or would the cake thaw too much to return it once time spent adding final frosting?
First time watching your tutorial. Am happy meeting you here 😊❤
I'm so glad!
Thank you : )
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Thankyou i really need to know this🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I made a wedding cake for my son’s wedding, freezing the layers. They kept for a week great in the freezer and when thawed to frost, they tasted like bakery cake. I think the freezing really helps them!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for this great tutorial! Can you also freeze a frosted & decorated cake if it includes fondant accents, or will it sweat and cause problems after thawing?
I have seen people freeze fondant decorations and if you do, make sure you thaw them correctly by moving them (still wrapped) to the fridge for 12-24 hours before taking out to room temperature.
Hey I love your videos!! If I do the crumb coat and then freeze after do I have to wait for it to thaw before icing it? Or can I ice it while it’s frozen? Xxx💖💖💖
I don't recommend frosting a fully frozen cake but if you only put the cake in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set the crumb coat, you can then frost it straight away. Hope that helps!
Have you had any trouble with air bubbles forming under the buttercream when freezing your cakes? I just recently started getting this problem and idk how to avoid it. 😩
Hi can we freeze the cakes which are decorated with butter icing and fondant figures ?
Wow niyamai
Thanks you Emily 💐🤝
For sharing tips..
I will stay connected..
Great tutor..😍
Thanks so much 😊
Sending all the love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦. I will try this, hope it won't sweat after removing it from the fridge
Good luck!
Thanks very much first time baker an am getting married in June so I can bake an frost my cake from now an freeze it great
Perfect! And congratulations!!
Hi i’m so happy to have come across your channel, your tips are so helpful! Your amazing!
Just wanted to ask when you bake cake layers, can you put them in the fridge for 30mins and then do the crumbcoat? Also when i’m doing the buttercream after putting on crumbcoat, will the remainder of my buttercream go lumpy or have air bubbles in, while I wait for my crumbcoat to set abit?
And lastly once ive completed the cake, can I leave it in the fridge over night?
Sorry for so many questions hope to get a reply would be amazing if you could help out thank you :)
Hi! After the cakes cool from baking yes, it’s fine to put them on the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes before making your cake. The while the crumb coat sets just cover the bowl of buttercream so it doesn’t crust. Stir it a few times before using for the final coat, to knock out any air bubbles. And yes, refrigerating the cake overnight is fine. I recommend taking out 2 to 4 hours before you serve it so that it warms up to room temperature and that’s when the cake and buttercream will taste best.
@@BritishGirlBakes thank you so much!
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 ?
If it's in the freezer for just a few hours you don't need to wrap it but if it's there overnight I would wrap it to prevent condensation forming
Can you freeze cupcakes to? And frost them while frozen?
How long can i keep it in deep fridge?
Hi love your video, can a chocolate cake be refrozen
I have refrozen my cakes and can't taste a different in the flavour or texture BUT I don't sell my cakes - if you are making the cake for a customer, check the regulations in your area
Love your cakes and great cake tips! Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you like them!
