Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi I have made and frozen 3 chocolate cakes which I’m going to layer making 6 layers. The lady at work would like to eat it Saturday. Please could you tell me how early I can start decorating it? I’m going to cover it in ganache. Thankyou for your help xx

Oh Thankyou. I will do that. I’ll have a good look round too

Hi Smurf

If it’s Paul’s moist chocolate cake or another mud cake recipe, it should be fine to start it on Wednesday to give a good eating shelf life of five days or more placed in a cake box, stored in a cool environment. Advise the customer on storage instructions. As with all defrosted food, the cake shouldn’t be frozen again. Hope this helps. xx

Oh Thankyou so much for answering. I’m a bit new at this. I don’t even know how to use the site properly yet, or even if my message had got through ??
