Pointers on Freezing Cakes

To Freeze Unfrosted Cakes: Cool cake thoroughly, place on cardboard and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Or if you wish, package cake in family-sized portions. Some cakes, especially angel and sponge types are not solid when frozen. It is a good idea to protect such cakes from crushing by placing the wrapped, frozen cake in a sturdy box. Unfrosted cakes freeze better than frosted cakes.

1. To thaw, let cakes stand unwrapped at room temperature for 1 to 3 hours, the time depending on the size of the cake. Or for quicker thawing, place in a very slow oven (250 to 300°) for a short time, but watch carefully so cake will not dry out.
