In my previous shared on How to Freeze your Cakes. Knowing the fact that many of you would love to know how do I defrost my Cakes/Cupcakes within months of storing them. I'd not recommend you to Freeze it more than a month since they may occur any cross contamination through the same storage with your wet items (Fish/Meat) at home. 😅

When freezing a cake it is often difficult to get a resealable freezer bag that is large enough to hold the cake. So I usually suggest that the cake is wrapped tightly in a double layer of cling wrap (plastic wrap) and a layer of foil to provide enough protection. We normally suggest freezing cakes for up to 3 MONTHS ONLY. *only if you are doing wedding cake / cakes in advance*
To thaw a regular cake (round / square) put the cake on a wire rack and let the cake thaw at ROOM TEMPERATURE. If the cake is sealed in a bag then we would suggest removing it from the bag to prevent a build up of condensation, but if it is just wrapped in clingfilm and foil then it is not usually necessary to unwrap the cake before thawing, though there are some exceptions.
And it is fine if you prefer to thaw the cake unwrapped, but don't leave it to stand around uncovered for too long after it has thawed as it could start to stale. Thin cake layers will usually thaw in 2-3 hours, larger cakes can take quite a bit longer.
Cheesecakes (Baked/ Unbaked) should always be thawed overnight in the fridge, as should any cake which normally needs storing in the fridge.
*****I DO NOT RECOMMEND REHEATING CAKES IN THE OVEN / MICROWAVE****

How do I bake in advance and keep my cake moist? I love freezing cakes and cupcakes in order for me to have the time to decor the cake. I thought why not share with you how I freeze them. I think there are a lot of people who don’t realize that you CAN freeze cakes and cupcakes successfully. I actually think they taste better and are more moist when they’re frozen first.
Freezing cakes and cupcakes is such a time saver, especially if you have a cake business as a side job, or if you just like doing things ahead of time
Take the cakes out of the oven, I set them on racks to cool for 10 minutes. I will let them cool almost completely. I will take a large piece of Cling Wrap / Plastic Seal and set it sticky side down on the counter, set my cake layer on it and wrap it up. I then set a second piece of press-n-seal sticky side up on my counter, set the cake on it and wrap it up.
Next I take a strip of foil and wrap them up. Wrapping it like that, keeps the foil from denting into the cake, or causing the cake to get misshapen. I’ll then put a piece of tape on the top and write what kind of cake it is, the size and the date. I never get freezer burn.

***Same Method for Cupcakes***
Another tip is that I don’t like to keep my cakes frozen over three weeks.

I always avoided recipes that had buttermilk in them because I thought buttermilk was too expensive. But then I learned a quick way to make my own buttermilk using 2 simple ingredients I always have on hand. Milk and vinegar.
Ingredients
Milk - 1 cup
White vinegar / lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Place a 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a liquid measuring cup, and add just enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

Let the mixture stand for five minutes. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for. Store extra buttermilk in the refrigerator for later use.
***I would use Buttermilk in my Red Velvet Cake and Pancakes and Waffles too!!!***
