I have one more day to finish my wedding cake! I want to defrost the cakes ,but should i defrost them now(12am) and leave them overnight to thaw so they are ready to work with tomorow(10-12 hours out)? Is 5 hours not enough at room tempature?

One is a 6" cake 4 inches thick wth ganache ,and a 8" cake 4" thick with ganache as well. The others are 12 and 16 2 inches each with no filling.

I've frozen cakes before ,but i usually have enough time to defrost them in the fridge.

Any tips on how to keep a 12" and 16" layer together when i go to fill them would be apricated as well!!

Thanks!!

I would play it safe and take them out now to be safe. I don't think the 5 hour difference will matter much with freshness.

I just took a cake out I had frozen for over a month, and let it thaw overnight. It's still really fresh, and I would have no trouble serving it at my own wedding. My sweetie said it was the best cake I've made so far!

Congrautations on the wedding. Smile

Thanks! I actually took the cakes outthe next morning and they were perfect and ready to put the chocolate plastic on. I just learned a very very very important lesson. Never freeze cakes with the icing. It saves time ,but make its hard to cut. Razz
