What’s the best way to store a cake—in the fridge or in the freezer? Does it matter if the cake is fully decorated? I reached out to a few experts in search of the best storage advice for any cake situation.If done properly, freezing is one of the best ways to preserve the freshness of a cake so that you’re not scrambling to bake, cool, frost, and decorate someone’sthe morning of a big party. I’ve been there before, and trust me, it’s not a fun way to get in the celebratory mood.
Once a cake is baked, it should be completely cooled. This is crucial since any moisture could trap steam in the cake, possibly changing the texture of the cake, or worse, leading to unwanted bacterial growth. A hot cake placed immediately in the freezer also raises the temperature inside the freezer, which can be a safety risk for food already inside. Once cooled, individual cake layers can each be wrapped twice in food-service-grade plastic wrap.
