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

You have no idea how helpful your tutorials are. For a beginner caker they make a huge difference between a great cake and a flop. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Thank you so much! Your comments always make my day!
I echo you .. every time during baking or designing if I stuck some where , only thing I do , search your videos :) . And it's all sorted. THANK YOU!!!!! God bless you!!! You are a genius.
Totally Agree
Here I am two years later ! .. so helpful .. boyfriends birthday cake this week !!
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!
You do such a fantastic job in terms of helping us in our baking, no matter what stage of this journey we are in! Thanks, Emily, I love your cake designs and the inspiration behind them! 😊🙏🏽🇨🇦

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."
You are the best baker ,decorator and teacher. Awesome work.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this video,this will help a lot to me especially when I’m busy. I can bake in advance and just freeze it until it’s time to use it. Thanks and God bless!
As a baker just starting my business, this is truly helpful
I'm so glad!
Sending all the love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦. I will try this, hope it won't sweat after removing it from the fridge
Good luck!
This was so helpful - thank you so much! I've always had a problem with icing melting in the heat
Wonderful!
wow this was such an amazing video. thank you so much for all the work you put into it, it did not go unappreciated
You are amazing! I feel so confident moving forward. Talk about lessons in working smarter and not harder!!
I'm so glad!!
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 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.
First time watching your tutorial. Am happy meeting you here 😊❤
I'm so glad!
U re simply amazing with ur tutorials and it's been so helpful for beginners like me. Thank you British girl ❤️
Really... This was absolutely helpful. Thank you for sharing... God bless your soul
I'm so happy it was useful!
This is the tutorial I've been waiting for. Thank you so much it's very helpful 😊
Thanks!! Will definitely coming back to your videos like this and on how to frost when I'll be decorating as well
Perfect!
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!!
Excellent infomation! Thank you.
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
I actually wrap my cakes while they are still pretty warm because the heat kind of shrink wraps the plastic around the cake.
That's so clever!
@@BritishGirlBakes and it traps all the moisture in the cake so when you defrost it, it’s moist.
I really enjoyed this tutorial! I really can't wait for Tuesdays to hear another great video! ❤ Thank you!
Thank you so much for that lovely comment!

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?

Thanks for your informative videos❤❤❤
You are so good.thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much
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!
Wow niyamai
Thank you so much for e video
It's really helpful
I'm so glad it's helpful!
You just saved my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant thank you ❤

Can you freeze cupcakes to? And frost them while frozen?
Awesome!!!!
Thanks!!
Thanks a lot ❤️
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!
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?
Fantastic video! I have a question. Could you please suggest how to wrap or not wrap a pound cake being prepared for shipping? I’ve shipped 2 cakes so far. But I know that I put an incredible amount of plastic wrap on it, and then even more plastic wrap before shipping it out. I appreciate any helpful advice you can provide.
Wow, I haven't heard of shipping cakes! Are they frosted? How do you make sure they don't get damaged? As far as plastic wrap, what about ziplock bags to keep them airtight? Or if your concern is environmental, someone mentioned beeswax wrap but I haven't seen or tried it myself.
@@BritishGirlBakes no my pound cakes aren’t iced. I was wondering if you could please recommend a freezer-safe container to store it in my freezer.
@@BritishGirlBakes I wrapped my cakes in bunch of plastic wrap and shrink wrap. But it was excessive amount of wrapped plastic wrap. They arrived intact in both Texas and Florida (I live in Pennsylvania). Both recipients told me the cakes were delicious and most. The problem was excessive amounts of plastic wrap used to d add ship the cakes. I started my own Baking business and I’m trying gain knowledge on what is the best ways to o freeze and s as hip my Pound cakes.
Thank you so much..
If you crumbcoat them directly after taking them out of the freezer how to defrost them and for how long?
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
Yup loved this video
Yay! Thanks!
After freezing the cake for some days,when I take them out and decorate,can I left them out at room temperature for two days?will they taste fresh?
After frosting them yes, you can leave them at room temperature for 2 days and they will taste fresh. The frosting will seal the moisture in the cake so it won't dry out quickly
WOW - Just discovered your channel and love it - UK here 🎂I haven't yet had chance to look through all the recipies but do you have a recipe for a three layer 8" vanilla cake? Thank you ❤
Hi! Yes! britishgirlbakes.com/very-vanilla-cake/
Thanks you Emily 💐🤝
For sharing tips..
I will stay connected..
Great tutor..😍
Thanks so much 😊
When delivering the cake, won't the frosting melt due to the warmth of the weather because it came from the freezer?
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.
fantastic .. thx
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
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. 😩
Very informative 👍👍
Thank you!
I'm not a baker (and have never baked in my entire life) but I love watching your videos ^^ You give very clear instructions and you are so generous in sharing all of these things you learned throughout years of experience as a professional baker. I loooove your accent too
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi can we freeze the cakes which are decorated with butter icing and fondant figures ?
You are outstanding❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Hello! I am wanting to freeze a crumb coated cake for three weeks, before decorating one day prior to the event. To freeze the crumb coated cake, should I just put the cake in the freezer for 15 minutes, then wrap the cake in plastic wrap? If so, when should I removed the plastic wrap before decorating: while it is still frozen or when it has thawed? Thanks
Great question! I would move the cake from the freezer to the fridge 24 hours before frosting, and take the plastic wrap off as soon as you take the cake out of the fridge to frost it.
@@BritishGirlBakes une fois décongelé dans le frigo, le film alimentaire ne va pas abîmer le glaçage ? Combien de temps avant de déguster le gâteau on doit sortir le gâteau du frigo ?
Thank you : )
Your chocolate cake looks very moist and delicious. Kindly share the recipe.
