Can you put frosting on a frozen cake?

* Frosting won't adhere properly: Frozen cake is hard and the frosting won't stick well. It will likely slide off or leave gaps.

* Frosting can get damaged: The cold temperature of the cake can make the frosting become hard and brittle, making it more prone to cracking or crumbling.

* Uneven texture: The frosting might not spread evenly on the frozen surface.

* Moisture issues: The condensation from the frozen cake can cause the frosting to become watery or thin.

Instead, you should:

1. Thaw the cake completely: Let it sit at room temperature until it's fully thawed and at room temperature.

2. Frost the cake: Once thawed, you can frost it as usual.

However, there are a few exceptions:

* Using a crumb coat: A thin layer of frosting applied to a frozen cake can act as a barrier against moisture and prevent the frosting from sliding off. However, it still might not be the ideal solution.

* Specific frosting types: Some types of frosting, like ganache, may hold up better on frozen cake than others.

In general, it's best to frost a cake after it has completely thawed to ensure the best results.
