Hello,

not sure if I am in the right place to be asking this... but I am just wanting to know what cakes freeze and thaw the best?

I am holding a fundraising 'Open Garden' event tomorrow afternoon (Sat 10th) and again the following Saturday 17th... people have been very kind offering to bake for our cake stand and I am concerned that with the poor weather we may have too many and so will need to freeze them for the following week.


Any suggestions ??


If you're interested in supporting us, it's 2-5 pm 10/05/14 and 17/05/14 at 4 Ashbourne Grove SE22 8RL

My mum used to cook lots of different cakes and she would freeze all of them from light sponges to a dense flourless chocolate cake. However they were always frozen undecorated so I would imagine anything with cream or similar additions might be better to eat rather than freeze.

Most cakes freeze well as long as they're very well wrapped and not iced or filled with cream, etc. plain (American) vanilla cake freezes beautifully, as does the Leith's chocolate fudge cake, and Nigella's coffee cake. Scones and American muffins freeze and unfreeze well too.


Things like meringues store well for ages (with the same proviso of not being filled) in an airtight container.


Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi!

Thanks all, really appreciate your suggestions, and warm humour ; )


I'll see what turns up tomorrow and will seek further advice if needed. Naturally, I could of course eat all of the cakes and request more next weekend...


I'll let you know how we get on, please come by if you're in the 'hood!


Best

Kath

Thanks for keeping the humour alive on this thread everyone :)


I have some seriously amazing goodies on ice right now. Come along on Saturday (May 17th, 2pm - 5pm) to enjoy them.


Here is a promotional video about the garden and event:

    • I'm not on the WhatsApp group ,and he only appears every now and again but does look like he's needs a good home and is not neutered. 
    • Why are you so rude? What has race got to do with anything? That's got nothing to do with whether or not a description is posted on here  The OP said the cyclist was being pursued by the police. If that's the case, then the police will presumably have his  description, including skin colour  If you think you encountered the same cyclist and could have been seriously hurt, then tell the police. And you have lost your bet, btw. You know nothing at all about me or my background except what I have posted on this forum,  and are making assumptions based on what appears to be a total lack of understanding of the reasons for my posts.
    • Worth posting on local street Whatsapp groups? Guessing no info from door knocking.  Those def look like unneutered Tom cat cheeks. Would be brilliant if a rescue could trap and at least neuter and return if he's a stray. Ideally find him a home - he'll settle more when neutered. Poor chap xxx    HP  
    • Whilst 'try taking off the blinkers' is a really insightful comment, could you expand a little? What do you disagree with - the £2.925 trillion, the role of the bond markets, or the demands for investment in public services?
