How to Freeze a Danish Pastry

Freezing meals and desserts is an easy way to save on time, while not diminishing the variety of food options available on any given day. Making large batches of favorite items and freezing the leftovers is the preferred method of savvy cooks, although it is important to know just how--and what kinds of foods---to freeze. While many desserts, like (unfrosted) cakes and brownies, freeze well, others, such as custard- or cream- filled ones, require a different approach. Delicate desserts may become soggy, as the filling can soak into the dough, and fluffy frostings are easily ruined in the freezing process. For these reasons, dough or undecorated cake layers are good candidates for freezing by themselves, leaving the adornments for the last minute.
