Hello,

not sure if I am in the right place to be asking this... but I am just wanting to know what cakes freeze and thaw the best?

I am holding a fundraising 'Open Garden' event tomorrow afternoon (Sat 10th) and again the following Saturday 17th... people have been very kind offering to bake for our cake stand and I am concerned that with the poor weather we may have too many and so will need to freeze them for the following week.


Any suggestions ??


If you're interested in supporting us, it's 2-5 pm 10/05/14 and 17/05/14 at 4 Ashbourne Grove SE22 8RL

My mum used to cook lots of different cakes and she would freeze all of them from light sponges to a dense flourless chocolate cake. However they were always frozen undecorated so I would imagine anything with cream or similar additions might be better to eat rather than freeze.

Most cakes freeze well as long as they're very well wrapped and not iced or filled with cream, etc. plain (American) vanilla cake freezes beautifully, as does the Leith's chocolate fudge cake, and Nigella's coffee cake. Scones and American muffins freeze and unfreeze well too.


Things like meringues store well for ages (with the same proviso of not being filled) in an airtight container.


Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi!

Thanks all, really appreciate your suggestions, and warm humour ; )


I'll see what turns up tomorrow and will seek further advice if needed. Naturally, I could of course eat all of the cakes and request more next weekend...


I'll let you know how we get on, please come by if you're in the 'hood!


Best

Kath

Thanks for keeping the humour alive on this thread everyone :)


I have some seriously amazing goodies on ice right now. Come along on Saturday (May 17th, 2pm - 5pm) to enjoy them.


Here is a promotional video about the garden and event:

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
