Freezing Of Baked Products

  1. It is best to freeze cakes unfrosted. Cool cake completely then wrap with plastic wrap.
  2. For the frosted cakes, first chill the cake uncovered to harden the frosting. Insert toothpicks all around the cake then wrap in plastic wrap. Frosted cakes can be also wrapped in aluminum foil. Just be careful not to damage the decorations.
  3. Pie crusts can be frosted baked or unbaked although the baked ones will keep for a longer period of time. Wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  4. Do not freeze pies with cream and custard fillings and those which are meringue-topped. Cream and custard fillings tend to separate fom the crust while meringue shrinks when frozen.
  5. Unbaked cream puff can be kept frozen for about a month while unfilled baked puffs can keep longer.
