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:

    • I've not engaged in this debate so far but you can't be more wrong. In the UK our own language is English, there is a small minority who can rightly claim their language is Welsh or Gaelic, and a couple Cornish. British Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, atheists etc will usually speak British, even if not their first language.  The vast majority will be able to understand English.   A small percentage, less than two percent, of people living in the UK have little or no English (census data).  It is right that in certain situations eg schools there is signage and information in other languages, providing public information. It is wrong that a political party do this, particularly one who came across as opportunist on this occasion. There is an interesting conversation about British expats living, for example, on the continent, where I expect huge swathes who can hardly say a word of French, Spanish etc.
