Editor: Carolyn, the short answer is yes! Many cakes freeze very well even after being decorated. ... The best way to freeze a cake is to bake the layers as usual, let them cool completely, and then ice them. Then clear out your freezer and put the iced cake on a tray in the freezer — completely unwrapped.

Most cakes, frosted and unfrosted, cut and uncut, are perfectly fine at room temperature for several days. ... If you do refrigerate, wrap unfrosted cakes in plastic to protect them from absorbing any weird fridge smells and to protect them from drying out, and then unwrap it to warm up on the counter before serving.

Yes! Fruit pies with sugar also freeze exceptionally well, where they'll last up to four months in the freezer. ... Then, wrap the frozen pie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Thaw the pie at room temperature and reheat it until it's warm in a 350°F oven (about 30 minutes).

Food Network Kitchens: Yes, you should always refrigerate any cake or cupcake that has cream cheese frosting. ... Take it out of the refrigerator an hour or two before you'd like to serve it so the frosting has time to come to room temperature and the cake layers lose their chill.

Yes, you can. Store them in an airtight container and freeze them for up to 2 weeks for best results. You can also freeze them in the dish they were baked in, but cover it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Warning: Freezing these au gratin potatoes may cause the texture and flavor to change.

Pastry cream cannot be frozen because gelled starch breaks down during the freezing and thawing process. The cream will weep moisture, and it will not have the same consistency as it had before freezing.

Don't Freeze Decorated Cake: For the absolute best taste and texture, assemble and decorate the cake as close to serving as possible. That's why I recommend only freezing the cake/cake layers. A completely decorated cake will contract and expand during the freezing/thawing process, ruining some of your hard work.

2 Answers. Our cakes are baked fresh daily, but they are chilled as part of the process of preserving the moisture content and setting the frosting for decoration. We recommend serving the cakes at room temperature as that is when they are at their very best, and they can be left unrefrigerated for up to 48 hours.

Editor: You can definitely freeze half-and-half, especially if you are planning to just use it in cooking rather than for coffee. ... Just make sure you give it a good whisk or shake after it is thawed to redistribute any butterfat that might have separated out in the freezing process.

If you need to make cupcakes particularly far in advance, or if you love baking but know you can't eat a whole batch of cupcakes before they dry out, freezing unfrosted cupcakes is a great option. While the fridge can dry cupcakes out, the freezer keeps cupcakes surprisingly moist, even after a couple of months.

I generally don't recommend refrigerating or freezing a fondant cake. ... If you do freeze or refrigerate your fondant cakes make sure they are in box that is as airtight as possible. Remove the box from the fridge a few hours prior and then remove the cake from the box after it has time to come to room temperature.
