- Storing cake layers in the fridge or freezing them is one of my favorite baking tricks. It allows me to save so much time by baking the cakes ahead, and decorating on another day. Baking the cakes in advance and storing also also makes the decorating job so much easier, when the cake is nice and firm as opposed to crumbly when they are fresh baked. Storing cake layers, if done right, will also keep the moisture and fresh taste of the cake for as long as possible. In this video I share with you how to wrap and store your cake layers as well as how long to keep them in the fridge or freezer for and best ways to thaw your cakes for decorating.
Let me know in the comments what are your favourite tips and tricks for freezing cake :)

I've made a cake for my younger sisters birthday(turning 6 on monday Mashallah). Cut the dome shape so its flat and wrapped it. Going to decorate it as well tomorrow and hopefully will be good. Thanks for the vid💖💖✨🎂
Amazing! Happy birthday to your sister 🥳❤️
What can be used instead of cling wrap?
Thankyou so much for this video. I was looking for a video that shows when to decorate the cake after thawing wasn’t sure if I should decorate the super chilled cake right out of the fridge or should thaw it on the counter shelf first. There’s no video that answers this specifically. So Thankyou for sharing this
My pleasure! Happy it was useful for you ❤️🤗
Hi, how to make cake more softer after frosting it
We should make in freezer or on normal fridge down side ??
Ty
Hi, Thanks for the great video. My son's birthday coming in 2 weeks and I want to make 10 inch vanila cake, could you please let me know how much ingredients touse it? Also do I need to freeze it day before after cooling down 30 minutes?
Or complete cool.
3rd question- can I decorate cake a day before with Whipping cream and waffle paper cake topper?
Many thanks in advance
How do you get flat cake layers?
Thank u dear
My pleasure! ❤️
Can i wrap it in a foil sheet?
Hi.! I made brownie for my sister and she has to travel 6 hrs with cake. I added some curd and ¼ amount of chocolate. Will it stay for 12+ hours?
Can i freeze chiffon cake?
Also I was wondering does the condensation get to the cake when it’s on the counter shelf? Because where I live it’s pretty hot there.
no it should not :)
How many days we store the cake sponge
Love HOW YOU had a large Piece of parchment paper under the cake ,so its easy to take off the flat pan !!! Thnk you for this too!
Also, do you decorate your cake THE DAY OF THE EVENT??
And how far ahead you do buttercream is thats the case,? Or whippped cream. I know whipped cream is different. Thank you in Advance
So glad you found this video helpful. Depending on the time I usually decorate the cake one day before the event or on the same day in the morning. I do my buttercream on the day before, for whipped cream, fresh just before decorating is best :))
How do you keep from removing a thin layer of the cake when you take the plastic wrap off the next day? Doesn't it stick to some of the plastic when you pull it off?
Do I wrap them once they are completely cooled down or can they still be a little warm?
Same question here!
She said cool completely in the video
This is wow
Ma is't fregde or freezer?
Hi could we put it in an airtight container inside the fridge if we don’t have a plastic wrap?
Yes
How to store cake in freeze after frosting with whip cream to avoid roughness??
Can any 1 help me pls.
I baked a cake yesterday and it's cling wrapped in the fridge...
I need to do icing today and use it tomorrow...
Should I do the icing on the cold sponge or should I leave at room temp before I start icing
Hi- why my cakes becoming dry after baking
How many days to store cake sponge??
Must we level the dome before refrigerating them?
No, I usually find it is easier to level cakes when they are cold so it does not make a lot of crumbs :)
I keep reading online that refrigerating cake layers will dry them out? Is that not the case if you wrap it enough?
can you bake one day store overnight, decorate the next day and then store again overnight once decorated?
Love you
This is just what I needed, thank you!!
So glad you found it useful! :))
Hi this is a very helpful video. My question is can I wrap the cake in foil instead of cling wrap?
No the foil will actually damage the cake and leave dents. I prefer to use plastic wrap first then foil only on second layer if I will be freezing it, otherwise no need and you can just keep it in the fridge :))
@@NourInTheKitchen thank you so much for your reply :)
@@jacobrivera3259 anytime!
in winter what will we do? can we store in fridge or out side?
You can leave the cake outside only if it will be consumed in the next 12-24 hrs :))
Can we keep it in the freezer for a month ?
How long can you keep your Christmas rum cake
I don’t have any experience with run cakes specifically but generally cakes can last 2-3 months in the freezer if frozen properly :))
Can i store it directly to the fridge or should i put it also in the airtight container?
You can store the wrapped cake directly, no need for airtight container. But it needs to be wrapped very well.
@@NourInTheKitchen ill try your method. thank you.
Did you start wrapping the cake whilst it’s hot or after couple of hours when it’s warm ? Why no completely cool down the cake and wrap ?
I generally let the cakes cool down for around 30 minutes then wrap them. I find it stays extra moist when wrapped before completely cooling down :))
@@NourInTheKitchen then can I leave it outside room temperature after wrapping like said? The weather is cold out here currently.Thank you so much for you feedback
Do we need to pour sugar syrup on each layer before wrapping?
Btw , Thabkyou so much for the wonderful video ❤❤
can i store it outside or one night?
You can but if you are going to decorate anyway I recommend to refrigerate it because the decorating process will be easier with a chilled cake ;)
Hi. Yesterday I searched so much for this info and I couldn't find anything. So I anyway wrapped my 2 layers of cake separately in cling film and put them in a zip lock bag and then tossed in the fridge worried that today on my son's bday it will ok or no. I had made butter cream frosting the day before and stored in the fridge. Now today maybe 2 hours before cake cutting I will keep the cakes out to come down to room temperature and then apply the frosting. My question: if the cake is too dry what should I do. I had already poked the cake and saturated it with milk after it cooled down.
Great work! If you already added milk syrup to the cake then don’t worry it will not be dry at all 😉
@@NourInTheKitchen wow..thank you so much for such a quick response.
Is it OK to store a cake at a room temperature,without a fridge?
after baking how long I can keep Store my cake fresh..
If you store it in the fridge it will last up to 5 days, in the freezer 2-3 months :))
Thanks..
@@subhaachukrish You are most welcome :))
We will surely subscribe your channel..
@@subhaachukrish Welcome! It’s a pleasure to have you :))
Can you keep it in the freezer for months
Yes they can stay fresh in the freezer for 2-3 months as long as they are properly wrapped like explained in the video :))
Can I refrigerate crumb coated cake overnight?
yes absolutely
Do I Keep the cake in the fridge or freezer?
it depends on when it will be consumed. less than 3 days, fridge is ok but more then freezer will be better :))
0:12
After freezing when time time of frosting as it won’t break
You can leave to thaw in the fridge overnight or 30 minutes at room temperature if you are in a hurry :))
Hi I can make a good sponge cake in an oblong tin and take it out off the tin still with the parchment paper on and put on a wire rack to cool, then when it's cooled I take i[ out of the parchment and leave on the wire rack over night but I always have a wet, sticky top on my cake. Can you please help me in what I'm doing wrong. I really do enjoy watching your videos they are very informative. Thank you so much. 😕
Can I use aluminium ?
I don't recommend using aluminium foil as it can stick to the cake. Plastic wrap is always better :))
جميل جدا حبيبتي بالتوفيق 🌹 فضلا وليس أمرا ممكن تشرفنى وتشربى عندى الشاى ويدوم التواصل حبيبتي 🤗 عندى جديد 💖
Thank you so much :))
Can I store it in the refrigerator for a day, then decorate it with buttercream the next day & again store it in the refrigerator for another day before having it?
And do you prefer brushing sugar syrups on the cake to make it moist?
Yes absolutely! That is almost always the way I do it. Just make sure to take the finished cake out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving so it is not too cold. As for the sugar syrup it completely depends on the recipe you use. If you find your cake are on the dry side then definitely brushing it with sugar syrup will moisten it but if it is already moist then no need :)
@@NourInTheKitchen Thank you soo much for your reply ❤
Can u kindly tell me when to add the sugar syrup, before storing in the fridge or after storing, just before frosting with buttercream? Brushing sugar syrup just right before frosting with buttercream does makes a lot of crumbs, So can u kindly share any tips that would cause less crumbs & will help to have smooth buttercream frosting.
@@rosalindrose2410 I find that if the cake is cold it helps not make too many crumbs when brushing with simple syrup but actually most of the time I never add the syrup because the cake doesn’t need it, so I would say try finding a cake recipe that is nice and moist to start with :)
@@NourInTheKitchen Thank you so much ❤
@@rosalindrose2410 ❤️❤️
Helpful hut way too long. Could've said double wrap with plastic wrap and out in fridge and made this video 30 seconds at most. Thanks for the tip but no need to make videos so long for something so simple.
You couldve thought of that yourself, or look up in google for a small simple tutorial. A lot of people like me like videos like this, because im anxious of mistakes
