Anyone have a recommendation for the best way to freeze cake(heavy mud cake) and also how long it is okay to freeze it for. I know one year we froze a mud cake after christmas and it actually tasted moister and richer after it had been dfrosted so I assume it is okay but I can't remember how we froze it or how long for.

 

 

 

NickNack do YOU know :D

Wrap it in waxed paper and wrap again in foil and then plastic. Can be frozen for months. I used to do my Christmas cakes in advance and freeze them this way :D

Spot on kaz ... the secrect is in the Wax paper !!!!!! then Foil then cling wrap ....

If it is muffins, I wouldn't risk it wrapping them on a tray !! the air will still be in there you'll need to wrap them each :D

Well I was only planning on freezing them for a couple of weeks and I have 8 weeks before I need them so maybe I'll put a trial batch in the freezer now, take them out on three weeks and see how they are and then decide whether I need to wrap individually or whether I can get away with packing them tightly on a tray.

I would wrap individually like Neat says too. Otherwise ice crystals will form and they will get freeze dried.

That will probably be more time consuming than just making them when I need them though. I need 140 so that's ALOT of wrapping and unwrapping.

Sorry :D I thought you asked for the BEST WAY. The QUICKEST way is on trays, But the BEST WAY is individually wrapped.

I totally agree with you Kaz don't get me wrong :D I'm just rethinking my plans since it sounds like it's going to be a huge hassle.

How's this sound then

Have some squares of waxed paper and foil cut up. Pick up each muffin, quickly wrap with each type of paper and into a ziplock bag. Large ziplock bag should fit a dozen or more in .........easy :D

That's not too bad I guess, I always have heaps of jumbo size zip lock bags for work so no problem there. Now can you tell me is waxed paper the same thing as grease proof paper (baking paper) as I've never heard of waxed paper. If I can remember correctly I think we wrapped the chrissy cake in a couple of layers of tinfoil.

Waxed paper is bought on a roll in the supermarket exactly where you buy all the other food wraps...cheap as chips :D

Is that a lingo thing between Vic and there or do you have greaseproof paper as well? We only seem to have greaseproof paper here.

Did I mention there will be sauce :D

 

The muffin cases are ceramic and in the bottom of each one there will be a little hidden reservoir of choccy sauce so when they put their muffin in the microwave for 20 seconds they will get drippy, choccy yumminess with their cake. Spoon DEFINATELY required :D

If you weren't all the way in Canada I would post you a little sample NickNack :D

As a consolation prize I will provide photos when they are completed, but it will only be internet cake though :D

 

 

Besides NN I would need to see some pretty good evidence that marrying one man who loves me for my cake is preferable to marrying a different man who loves me for my cake :hap: The current man lives interstate and sends me all his money :D
