  • I get asked a lot about my freeze and thaw method for my cake layers. In this video, I will show you how I wrap and freeze cakes to keep them moist. And also how to properly thaw the layers before filling and frosting them. I have received so many compliments on the taste and texture of my cakes since I have been doing this process!

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Рік тому

      Hi! If it's only 3 days, I would just keep it in the fridge. I've had cakes in the fridge up to a week and they have been fine! If they are moist to begin with, they will stay moist in the fridge. If you prefer to freeze it, you definitely can. Wrap really well in plastic wrap and freeze. The day before the party, remove from the freezer and put in the fridge (still wrapped in plastic wrap) so it can start slowly thawing. Then remove from the fridge and bring it into a cool air conditioned room to prevent condensation from forming!

      I personally store my cakes in the same box I deliver it without any issues. Even on the hottest days. I keep it in the fridge until I'm ready to deliver it. But I cool my car down for 10 minutes or so before I put the cake in there! I wouldn't want to deliver a cake that has sat out too long because the icing will get soft and the structure will be compromised.

    Is the freezing essential for the moisture or does the plastic wrap hold in most of the moisture? I'm wondering if I should freeze a cake if I am decorating it only 24 hours later. And if I don't freeze it, would I just wrap it in plastic and leave it on the counter until decorating time? Thanks

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Рік тому

      I feel like freezing is better. However, before I froze cakes, I would just wrap them in plastic (when still warm) and left them at room temp until I was ready to decorate. And it was still moist! But if I were baking the day before, I would freeze for like 6 hours and then take it out to thaw. I feel like freezing it does give a better result, but it's not necessary if you don't have the time!

    Hi karolyn, I am watching from South Africa ,love all you work, you are brilliant!!
    I have a problem
    I put my cakes in the freezer overnight, took it out the next morning to defrost for about 10 hrs . I iced my cake and the cake was beautiful
    It was very hot so I put the cake in the fridge overnight and part of the day, the party was the next day, the cake stood out for about 6 hrs, customer say that the cake was very dry, what did I do wrong
    1st complain ever

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  6 місяців тому

      Oh no! It sucks when we get that feedback, it happens to all of us.
      If the cake was dry, it was most likely over baked. I frequently have frosted cakes in my fridge for 5 days without issue. The cake won't dry out in a few days if it's moist.

      I torte, fill and crumb coat while frozen. Structure and less crumbs everywhere. It’s my personal preference. But I don’t do anything fondant. It’s either whipped cream or buttercream. Haven’t had a problem.

      I have been frosting/filling all my cakes while frozen for the past 3 years and haven't had any issues (knock on wood). I've just had really good results doing it this way. I do keep the finished cake in the fridge (usually overnight) and until delivery so it can slowly thaw without the condensation issue. So far, no negative feedback from customers.

    I have a buttercream that I'm using for first time its half shortening half butter powdered sugar and only 2tablespoons heavy whipping cream.
    Do u think that it can sit out overnight to set or should I do the dish on top for 2hrs then refrigerate?

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  2 роки тому

      I would always recommend to just refrigerate it when it has to sit out for more than a few hours. It just eliminates any possibility of something spoiling. I'm sure it would be okay if you didn't do it though.

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Рік тому

      I keep it in there overnight. But you can definitely freeze longer! I would double-wrap in plastic if I were to keep it in there for a week. It will still be moist!

    What about when you do a crumb coat? Can you frost the cake when you take it out of the fridge or freezer right away or should I let it sit before doing the final coat?

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Місяць тому +1

      I crumb coat the cake, put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours so the icing can harden, then remove it from the fridge and immediately add the final coat. I never freeze a crumb coated cake, you could have condensation issues if you do!

    • @KarolynsKakes

      I don't because they are still warm when I freeze them, so they are more fragile and could split if you try to level them when they are warm.

      I prefer to thaw at room temperature. If you thaw in the fridge, they will still be cold when you take them out. I personally don't like to fill cold cakes. But if you like to do that, then you can thaw in the fridge.

    Hi Karolyn! Quick question. Soooo I’ve had some layers in the freezer like two weeks now double wrapped in plastic wrap; do you think they’d still be fresh enough for an order this week??
    I’m only asking cause I know some people say if you’re going to freeze longer than a few days I should double wrap them in Saran Wrap and maybe wrap in foil and put in a freezer bag.

    • @KarolynsKakes

      You want to make sure the cakes are completely frozen before stacking more on top.

I also have two fridges with freezers that I use just for my cakes, so I have a lot of space to spread them out!
