My team and I have frozen our fair share of cakes and have made enough mistakes to know what really works. Let\u2019s learn how to freeze cakes<\/strong> so that they taste the freshest and that you\u2019re the only one who knows the cake was previously frozen!<\/em><\/p>\n

I originally published this tutorial in 2019<\/strong> and have since added new photos, a video tutorial, and additional success tips.<\/p>\n

Making cakes in advance and freezing them is a great way to get ahead and have less to do on the day of a party or celebration. Today I\u2019m sharing my tried and true method for freezing cakes. <\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve tried many techniques over the years, and the way I\u2019m showing you today is the best way to ensure the cake tastes fresh and delicious after freezing and thawing. Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let me tell you\u2026<\/p>\n

My #1 Tip for Freezing Cakes<\/h2>\n

My number-one tip for the best-tasting results is to freeze the cake layers before frosting<\/strong>, and make the frosting fresh the day you plan to assemble and serve the cake.<\/p>\n

You can<\/em> freeze a cake with frosting, but the texture is just never quite the same after thawing. Plus, a completely decorated cake will contract and expand during the freezing\/thawing process, ruining some of your hard work. That\u2019s why I recommend freezing the cake on its own, and then making frosting (fresh frosting really does taste best!) and assembling the cake<\/a> after it\u2019s been thawed.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s fine to freeze leftover frosted cake. It\u2019s just left over and doesn\u2019t need to impress anyone! And obviously, ice cream cake<\/a> is an exception to this rule as well.<\/p>\n
