freezing store made cake?

I think our wedding cake was wrapped in tin foil on plates but don't quote me at that. Of course that was a year later that we ate a piece... I bet you'll have it eat before a year's up though.

I am not a cake lover but sometimes my aunty made me a cake for my snack, and you know what? I freeze it for a week the taste didn't same as if you eat it on the day 1st. I suggest you to buy new one on your birthday. It's your birthday and should celebrate it with great tasty cake

Air tight is the key. Just putting it in a plastic container will make it stale. I would suggest...taking saran wrap and wrapping it well in that as you can get the wrap right on the cake and no air in between. Wrap it nicely and then freeze it. DOn't wrap the frosting top yet. Once the cake has been in the freezer maybe 30 minutes...long enough for the frosting to firm ...then wrap the top/frosting with the saran wrap.. t his way, the frosting is not stuck to the plastic wrap and still holds its shape. So now the cake is wrapped, and now the iceing in wrapped. Then...wrap it in foil and back in the freezer till you are ready to eat it. Thawing it...set it to THAW in the ice box, and once thawed, THEN take it out and set at room temp...unless you like cold cake! Could be good that way! But if you thaw it at room temp.. the icing will melt to quickly and be messy. Thawing in the cool fridge, allows the frosting the thaw slowly and hold its shape. But just going from fridge to counter...the coldness isn't as intimidating. Let us know how it tastes!

Most cake freezing very well and you can't tell it from fresh cake when you eat it. First, freeze it until the icing is stiff so that it won't stick to the wrapping. When the icing (frosting) is solid you can wrap it tightly in plastic. I like Press 'N Seal--it is fairly expensive but the way it preserves even fresh food is amazing. I've had a head of lettuce for a month wrapped in this stuff and it's still good and crisp!! Anyway, wrap the cake tightly then put it in the freezer. If you want to store it for a few months, use the P 'N S or cover the plastic-wrapped cake with foil. When you take it out, unwrap it right away while the icing is still stiff and put it in a container in the fridge. In an hour or so it'll be thawed and taste great.

I think that you can freeze the cake and it will last until you are ready to pull it out and eat it. I am not sure how it will taste though it may not be very good especially of they have used much oil in the frosting.

Obviously I'm far away from all this but I've never heard about freezing cakes. Even if it's possible to do it, even if it tastes like a fresh one, what about the substances? It couldn't be the real thing. Why don't you just have this quake eaten now and get another one for your birthday?

I would put it in something that air could not get in it. I would not leave it there too long or you risk freezer burn or stale odors from other foods.

I'm guessing that it is a sponge cake! Rich fruit cake (like traditional British wedding cakes) will store for years in a tin but a sponge cake will need to be frozen to keep them fresh. Sponge cakes freeze perfectly if it is highly decorated open freeze it and then when it is frozen wrap it well. If it is not decorated it can be wrapped before freezing.

As long as you seal it in an air tight container you will be ok to eat it. It is a tradition here to take the top of the wedding cake and eat it for your first anniversary so I will wager no longer then a year.Happy Birthday early also:)
