Well, the big day was supposed to be today but now it might be next weekend. Can I freeze the two-layer iced birthday cake?

yes you can! People freeze their wedding cake toppers and eat it on 1yr anniversary! Just cover tightly.

Almost every cake ordered from a cake shop for a wedding or other celebration has been made head of time and frozen, you really can't tell the difference.

Yes, part of my wedding cake was put in the freezer so we could have it on our 1 year anniversary. Tasted great!

You can freeze just about anything. The question is how good will it be when you thaw it out.

Cakes freeze very well ... just make sure that you pull them out 4-6 hours in advance to ensure that it hits room temperature.

Wrap it in plastic wrap, then in foil to keep it from getting a freezer flavor. If it's buttercream it will look fine when it thaws. Fondant may look wet when it thaws but if you don't touch it and wait an hour or so, it will dry.

Freeze it open, before you vacuum seal it, if you do that! Otherwise, you'll end up with a ball of cake mess! It's a good idea to freeze it, then wrap it, so you don't mess up the frosting!
