Freezing Wedding Mud Cake: A Step-By-Step Guide

Freezing your wedding cake is a great way to preserve it for later. The best way to do this is to slice the cake into pieces and wrap each piece tightly in glad wrap or cling wrap to keep the moisture in. You can also triple wrap the cake with plastic wrap and then double wrap it tightly with foil. It's important to remove any decorations, like sugar flowers or other adornments, so they don't tear the wrapping. Before wrapping the cake, chill it in the refrigerator so that the icing hardens and doesn't stick to the plastic wrap. When you're ready to eat the cake, simply take out one slice and let it thaw at room temperature for about two hours.
