Hello & Welcome to Neamh’s Kitchen!
For the past two months or so, I’ve taken it upon myself to bake at least once a week to grow my baking skills. One thing many bakers do, that I never knew of, is freezing their cakes in advance along with using a cake leveler. I always saw bakers using a serrated knife, which I’m definitely not that great using, but after discovering what a cake leveler was and using it multiple times, I started to get in the hang of it! If you want an in-depth blog post on how to use a cake leveler, I can definitely do that for you because as much as there are videos online showing how to use it, none helped me and I just had to figure it out my own way. Freezing cakes is such an easy bakers tip. Personally, I bake my cakes the night before and just freeze them overnight then set them out the morning of and decorate but you could freeze cake layers for a couple of days! Hopefully, this is helpful and can help a fellow baker!
- Tip: When using a cake leveler, you want to remove as little as possible of the cake, so try and leveling off the dome part only.
How To: Freeze Cake Layers
Total Time: 12 minutes
What You’ll Need:
- Cake layers
- Cake leveler
- Plastic wrap
Directions:
- When your cakes are completely cooled, take your cake leveler and adjust the wire by setting it as high or low as you need it to be. When adjusted, lay it flat next to the cake and start going in a back and forth motion until you get a flat cake.
- Lay 2 long pieces of plastic wrap in a cross form. Place your cake in the center and fold the pieces, one at a time making sure it is covered from all sides.
- You can keep these in the freezer for a couple of days. Hopefully, this is helpful.
