How to Decorate a Frozen Cake

Unfrosted cakes last up to six months in the freezer. Freezing unfrosted cakes not only saves you time when preparing for a big event, but also makes it easier to frost the cake. Frozen cakes are firmer and less likely to form crumbs than room-temperature cakes. In addition, a chilled cake won't damage the consistency of your frosting, unlike a cake that's too warm. Frosting a frozen cake is similar to frosting an unfrozen cake. Follow these easy steps to produce a beautifully frosted cake.

Things You'll Need

  • Serrated knife
  • Frosting
  • Large icing tip
  • Pastry bag
  • Frosting spatula

Instructions

  1. Allow the cake to thaw slightly. Wait until the cake depresses slightly when you gently press on it with a knife. A cake that's frozen solid is dangerous to cut. In addition, the condensation created as a completely frozen cake thaws could damage the frosting.

  2. Stoop so the cake is at eye level. Trim the top layer of the cake by rotating the cake with one hand and cutting with a serrated knife with the other.

  3. Put a large tip in the pastry bag and fill it with frosting.

  4. Pipe the frosting onto the cake in concentric circles. Smooth the frosting over the surface of the cake with the frosting spatula. If you are decorating a layer cake, pipe frosting on the fist layer and top with the second layer and repeat. Then pipe frosting on the sides and smooth the entire surface.

  5. Add any additional decorative elements you desire, such as piped flowers or writing.
