How to freeze a cake

The best and easiest way ti freeze a Buttercream cake. Excellent for left over snacks.

[@RARenni62]

Thanks for the great tip! Now I can bake a cake and not have to rush to eat it before it goes bad or gets stale. It’s just me now but, I’d still rather have my home made cake rather than a slice from the store! Thank you my friend!

[@TheBijouBaker]

EXACTLY. I'm so glad it helps.

I would so this over the food saver as you result far every bit of air out. I've found still gets in when I use that. At least for me😊

Many thanks for a super video. We watched it and froze two large sponge caked. Took one out of the freezer let it thaw then tried it. Perfect!!!

[@TheBijouBaker]

Oh I'm so glad that's the best news thank you. I always heard from couples who I froze their top tier of their wedding cake, who ate it on their 1st anniversary that it tasted the exact same as the fresh one. It's the little things right? Happy baking my friend 💕

Thank you my friend

[@jumper123910]

Thank You Exactly the video I was looking for. You missed one little hint, How long do need to thaw the vacuum sealed slices? I assume you remove the slices from the vacuum sealed bag before you start thawing?

[@TheBijouBaker]

Thawing is pretty quick, depending on the size of the cake. You can just break the seal, it will thaw faster, or remove it completely if you want to keep the decorations just keep its loosely covered. Either way you'll have a delicious treat. Happy baking my friend

[@MykeLyfe]

Wait a second...I thought the proper procedure for left over cake is to set it down in front of the tv and power eat it??? Wow. I’ve been doing this wrong ha ha ha...question about freezing the cake overnight, does it take on that freezer smell? I love you Maria thanks for sharing!!

[@TheBijouBaker]

Lol you're such a goof hehehe. It still not take on freezer smells, it's not in long enough. (Plus, I'm such an obsessive nut about my big freezer and keeping it clean -from smells too) but if you want to, you can just keep it in fir 1-2 hours just looking enough to get it (the Buttercream hard) STILL dreaming about your videos doll. Simply the best.

[@MykeLyfe]

The Bijou Baker how did I know you were gonna tell me to clean my freezer?! Ha ha ha ❤️❤️ thanks love, I so appreciate you having made space in your dreams for my videos. I swear I have had dreams with you and Jean!! I feel like we are old friends...I’m sure in some worlds we are! Maybe even this one! Ha ha yeah...I am a goof.

[@df2126]

Thank you & I know this video is old but question- can I freeze the cake (for the 24 hours) inside of the plastic cake container?

[@TheBijouBaker]

@df2126 you can. Just remember air is the enemy of food you want to keep it as airtight as possible

[@spiderlashful]

Thank you for this tip. So, once you remove from the freezer to thaw in the fridge why can't we remove the plastic and aluminum wrap? I am worries that it will ruin the frosting while thawing in the fridge.

[@TheBijouBaker]

You certainly can, the biggest key is to let it thaw gently. In the fridge the Buttercream will still be firm enough to pull the foil and/or wrap away from the cake. Once it comes to room temperature then you'll have issues with the icing pulling away and getting messy

[@merciless5407]

Thanks for the tips but I don’t think my cake would last overnight😂😂😅

[@TheBijouBaker]

Lol I know right? Lol someone asked me how to do it so I saved some. No sooner did I post the video when we cut into it lol

Thank you for sharing and love your enthusiasm! How long should you freeze a cake frosted with buttercream?

Heck, if it's frozen right (like this) it will certainly for over a year. Not much longer but perfect for a 1 year anniversary for a wedding cake

[@samename6479]

Thankyou for the tips. Very helpful indeed

[@TheBijouBaker]

You're very welcome

[@jasminesimmons6489]

I’ve done this but I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. I’m worried if I froze my Bundt cake uncovered it would dry it out

[@TheBijouBaker]

It would dry out yes. Air is the biggest enemy of food.

[@jasminesimmons6489]

@@TheBijouBaker oh I thought I heard you say to freeze it without wrapping it first 🤦🏽‍♀️ sorry

[@TheBijouBaker]

Gotcha, gotcha gotcha that's just too get it hard before you continue so you're not working with soft cake. Only for 30-60 minutes or so. Sorry for the confusion.

[@dawnreichert2301]

There's supposed to be leftover cake?😂🤣😂 Thank you for the wonderful tip. I do have a question, I love cherry almond cake but I don't know how to add the cherry flavor without making the cake too soupy. May I ask how to do that if you know? Thank you😊

[@TheBijouBaker]

I would use marichino cherries, chop those up and use the juice as your liquid, instead of the milk (or whatever the recipe calls for) or split the liquids ex: it calls for 1. C MILK use 1/2 C MILK & 1/2 C CHERRY JUICE. It will also give it a lovely pink color. I would also take out 1-2 Tablespoons of sugar add the juice is sweet. Gid luck, & happy baking my friend

[@yajkitchen]

How can you thaw them in less than 10 minutes?

[@TheBijouBaker]

Not the whole cake but I cut mine into pieces and they thaw faster

[@yajkitchen]

@@TheBijouBaker thank you. I sell cake in my cloud kitchen. We have 8-10 minutes prep time. What do you suggest we do? We sell by slice.

[@TheBijouBaker]

Of great idea, I did that and it was a bit. I made sheet cakes, iced them, cut them in generous portions and wrap them verysnug individually (if you have stickers worth logo or website put that on the back to seal it. I had stickers of the flavors on top. Frozen this way you've got great stock and they do thaw fast. Happy baking my friend

[@annmartinez1323]

Can I freeze a fresh strawberry filled and whipped cream cake for one month? It’s already decorated and all. Help!

[@TheBijouBaker]

You can freeze fur a month. The wrap will destroy the wiped cream decorations but aside from that make extra sure the paddock wrap is hugging Any exposed cake is closer and as tight as possible. I have frozen wiped cream cakes knowing I will need to touch it up when it's thawed

[@annmartinez1323]

Oh I meant the strawberries and whipped cream are inside filling. But the outside is buttercream. So maybe it will be fine?

[@TheBijouBaker]

Oh yes freeze like the video but make extra sure the cake is touching the plastic wrap

[@moshinaleyakath8511]

Hello mam... I have a big question. How to store a decorated whipped cream whole cake.i want to give it to a customer tomo so Iam scared of keeping the cake in fridge wil it b runny after I take it from freezer pls help me out

[@TheBijouBaker]

It will be runny IF you don't stabilize it. All you have to do is add 2 Tablespoons to your powdered sugar and it should be just fine

[@Diego-gz1pl]

nice vid! thank you. a quick question if doing all the steps properlly, you can tell the difference between the cake after and before frozen?? does the frozen diminish the quality of the cake?? thank you

[@TheBijouBaker]

Actually it does NOT. 25 years ago I made a wedding cake fir mmy brother & haff them freeze the top layer for their anniversary. To this dsy they remark on how perfect & delicious it was, like the day I made it. Done right (REMOVING ALL AIR) is quite impressive. I freeze any left over cakes I have (already individually sliced) and it taste like I just made it. Let the freezer work for you. Happy baking my friend 🤗🤗🤗

[@Diego-gz1pl]

Bijou! i really appreciate your reply! thank you very much, im gonna try it cheers from Uruguay

[@TheBijouBaker]

@@Diego-gz1pl my absolute pleasure my friend

[@sqwrrl]

I’m planning to bake and decorate a rectangular cake, 5 days before my event. Will it lose quality, just refrigerated for 5 days in a cake saver, or do I need to wrap it even if it’s in a cake saver? And is refrigeration enough, or should I freeze it, then thaw it on the 5th day?

[@TheBijouBaker]

For that Ling, after it has cooled completely wrap the cake itself in plastic wrap in both directions. IF you have the room to freeze it that's best, take it out 24 hours or so before you are going to decorate it. If not, just make sure it's wrapped well. You'll be just fine. You can make your icing early as well. Chill or freeze it in an airtight container, bring it to room temperature and rewhip it before use. You'll do great. Happy baking my friend 💕

[@sqwrrl]

@@TheBijouBaker What about not wrapping it, since it will be inside a plastic cake saver, already decorated? Freezing it before decorating it is not an option.

[@TheBijouBaker]

You can certainly keep it in just the saver. The thing that matters is keeping air from getting to it. Air is the biggest enemy of food so keeping it in the saver should be just fine.

[@lunes-1]

[@kathleenamatangelo3713]

What about using a vacuum sealer after the overnight freezing?

[@TheBijouBaker]

That's a great idea I just don't have one buff enough to fit a cake. But that would be dreamy

[@sharonrobson7414]

Thanks for the info but i doubt my red velver would never get to freezer. LOL

[@TheBijouBaker]

I KNOW RIGHT? Same here but you'd be surprised. There are times I crave a specific cake, so I make it rather then deny myself hehehe then cut in slices and freeze individual pieces. Yuuummm

[@deborahwood7142]

Does the vacuum sealer squish the cake?

[@TheBijouBaker]

If it's fresh YES, but once it's frozen, it removes all air which is good, when you take it out & open it, let it sit a bit and it's just right 🤗🤗🤗

[@biancanicole4219]

Hi curious to know how long do you defrost if it’s been frozen overnight?

[@TheBijouBaker]

From the freezer, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then at room temperature until serving

[@biancanicole4219]

The Bijou Baker so at least 8 hours?

[@TheBijouBaker]

That should do it. Slowly but it's worth it. 🤗🤗🤗

[@embazem]

@@TheBijouBaker is it the same wait time for the small individual pieces?

[@TheBijouBaker]

It's not so much a time thing as it is a firmness thing. When you're cake, big or small is frozen ot at least very firm to the touch and easy to handle you're good to go. Make sense? 😁👍
