How to Freeze Cake Layers

Freezing cake layers allows you to make them in advance and frost them with ease!

Instructions
 

  • Bake the cake layers according to the recipe (I recommend using pre-cut parchment rounds for easy removal). Allow the cake layers to cool at room temperature until they are completely cooled.
  • Remove the cake layers from their pans and peel of the parchment sheets. Wrap each separately in plastic wrap (use press n seal for the best outcome). If you are planning on using them within a week or two, this is enough. If you want to freeze them for an extended period of time, wrap them again tightly in plastic wrap or in foil.
  • Place them in the freezer until use! Thirty minutes prior to frosting them, remove from the freezer and let defrost slightly.
