Storing & Preserving
How long is finished uncut cake good for if stored in the fridge?
The fridge tends to dry the cake out, so I wouldn’t store it in the fridge longer than a day. Make sure it’s covered in a cake box or airtight cake carrier.

How can I keep my cake from becoming dry after freezing it?
After the frosting is set (about an hour in the freezer), wrap it in plastic wrap to make sure no air gets to it. You can also put it in a cake box or airtight plastic cake carrier to keep it fresh.

Can I make buttercream ahead of time?
Absolutely. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week or in the freezer for up to a month. Let it get back to room temperature and re-beat it before using.

When you freeze individual cake layers do you level them first before wrapping in plastic?
Yes, then they’re just ready to stack later.
