Can I freeze a sponge cake and if so how long for?

Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questions
Sponge cakes freeze very well provided they are wrapped properly and frozen as soon as they are cold. Remember though, the cake cannot be re-frozen after defrosting. If you are making the cake for someone else, be certain to advise them not to re-freeze the cake. Freeze for up to a month.*

Can I freeze my cake?

Land O'Lakes: FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
To prepare an unfrosted cake for freezing, wrap in plastic food wrap, aluminum foil or place in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To prepare a frosted cake for freezing, place cake in freezer until frozen. Then wrap as directed above. Occasionally, moisture from the frosting may dampen the top of the cake which is why we recommend freezing cakes unfrosted. Hint: Buttercream frostings freeze better than fluffy frostings as buttercream holds its shape better.

Is it possible to use a sponge cake rather than a rich fruit cake?

Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questions
Almost certainly. The only thing to be aware of is if the sponge is very light e.g. fatless sponge, the combined weight of sugarpaste and marzipan, can compress the cake resulting in a misshapen finish. Replace the marzipan with buttercream. If the cake is to be tiered remember to dowel the cake properly.* It sounds as if the filling you are using is too soft and the weight of the icing is forcing it to bulge out at the sides. This can also happen if too much filling is used.

Can I freeze a rich fruit cake?

Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questions
Yes, although after baking, a rich fruit cake can be stored (wrapped and boxed) in a cool, dry, dust free environment without the need for freezing. Store for up to 2-3 months. It is vitally important that the conditions for storage are excellent and the cake is properly cooked.* Plastic containers can create humid conditions especially when the weather is hot or the storing conditions are unsuitable.

Can I freeze a cake which has been covered with sugarpaste?

Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questions
It is possible to freeze a sugarpasted cake, but when defrosting, condensation will appear on the sugarpaste which will nearly always leave marks on the cake afterwards.* The recipes are carefully balanced to give good results. Altering it to any great extent would not be recommended. Try replacing the ingredients you dislike with preferred ones of a similar kind e.g. more raisins and less currants or more glac? cherries and less candied peel.

How long would I blanch potatoes for french fries to freeze?

Frequently Asked Questions
You'll have to do your own experimenting to come up with the proper time and temps depending on the size cut for the potato. Typically you'll need to blanch for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees F or so. The internal temp of the center section of the fry has to reach 160 degrees F to slow the enzyme reaction that turns a raw potato black when frozen. If the strips are gray, they are not blanched enough. Our "How To" section for fresh cut fries has some recommendations.

Why use oasis? Why not use a sponge?

Cigar Smoker's FAQ
The many holes in oasis material mean a greater effective surface area. This means a smaller humidifier is able to do the same work as a larger one using other materials. Natural sponges are much more prone to contamination and should not be used. Good quality synthetic sponges are a reasonable alternative IMHO (although your credo might need to be a little larger than if you used oasis).

Do you include the top tier of the wedding cake for me to freeze for my first anniversary?

FAQ
No, I do not. My cakes are made from scratch with no preservatives. I do not recommend freezing one of my cakes for more than? 4 weeks, any longer than that and it's sure to disappoint. Instead, I will bake the bride and groom a fresh 6" cake for their first anniversary. Just add $45 to your contract and give me a call 2 weeks before? your anniversary? to pick your flavors. This is cheaper than adding a tier to your decorated cake on the wedding day and will taste so much better!

If I freeze the product, how long will it last in the freezer?

MarcAngelo Mediterranean Quality
This cooking method is recommended for two reasons: 1) Porchetta is wrapped in pork skin (traditional Italian style roast) and will become a beautiful golden colour and the dry heat allows the skin to become crispy. This can then be eaten. If this is not desirable, then the skin can be removed and discarded. 2) Dry roasting locks in all of the natural juices and keeps the meat moist and tender. Cooking the roast in water/juices will steam not roast the meat.

What is a pound cake?

Land O'Lakes: FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
The classic recipe for a pound cake includes 1 pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. It is a thick, dense moist cake. The mixing of the butter incorporates enough air to provide the support a pound cake needs. Mixing the butter with the sugar is done before all the other ingredients are added. During baking, the air in the butter expands and the moisture in the eggs turns to steam, raising and lightening the cake.
