      How long do you usually thaw before decorating?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 3 lety +4

      I thaw for a few hours. First, with the foil on for about an hour and a half. Then with only the plastic wrap until I’m ready to start decorating. Thanks for watching!

    I use to work in a bakery as a stocker and do inventory. Everything came in frozen and when they would get cake orders they would just pull out the sheet cakes/cupcakes from the walk-in freezer and then decorate. When it was slow I volunteered to help the cake decorators and learned how to decorate. I was a single mom of 5 boys, so I bought supplies here and there. I did lots of practice at home as well. My boss started giving me overtime when someone was out sick or took vacation. I had a major hand surgery that went wrong and have no use of my hand. I miss decorating…it’s been 7 years. I think I am going to attempt it just to see if I can learn to do it one handed. It has been quite debilitating, depressing and decorating gave me joy to share with others.

    Hi , love your videos they have been helping me so much ! I’m a beginner learning to make cakes for my children’s birthday parties . I was wondering if I’m going to use my cake in 1-2 days after baking them can I store them in the fridge instead of freezer? Also after decorating the cake I can store in the fridge to eat the next day ? Or do you recommend for me to decorate it the day of ?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 2 lety +2

      Answers to your first two questions are “yes”. Just make sure to wrap the cakes tight if they’re going to the fridge; they’ll dry out otherwise. I would not bake and decorate on the same day; personally that’s too stressful. Pace yourself… Thanks for watching! 💕

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 3 lety +4

      First, I remove the cakes from the deep freezer and sit them on the counter for about an hour WITH the foil and plastic still on. Then, I remove the foil and allow the cake to thaw completely for another couple of hours. I have kept cake frozen in my deep freezer for up to 3 months, and it tastes fantastic and is very moist (thanks to ice crystals)!

      Yes, but there’s no point to taking the time to prep and freeze cake overnight only to use the next day; especially not for cake pops since you’re mixing icing with the cake crumbs. You can wrap the cake and store it at room temp until the next day if you’re planning to make came pops. Thanks for watching!

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 3 lety

      Watch this first: czcams.com/video/gwK0bQKui0c/video.html! It’s ok to freeze CAKE for the cake pops for a couple of days. Wrapping it in plastic wrap then covering it with aluminum foil will prevent freezer burn, though I highly doubt that the cake will taste funny from being in the freezer for a couple days.
      Don’t freeze your cake pops though! You run the risk of cracking your candy coating. Best of luck!

      The key is to provide 2 layers of protection against freezer burn and smells seeping into your cake and cupcakes. The cupcakes are stored more securely in the plastic containers. Wrapping the containers in plastic is the second layer of protection.

      Are you thawing them from being frozen overnight or are you covering them in plastic wrap and letting them sit on the counter for next day use; no freezing? If the latter, that’s perfectly normal! That’s why we leave the cakes un-leveled then cut off the sticky tops. 😉
