Instructions

1. Remove a plain, cooked cake from the pan and place it onto a cake board.

2. Wrap plastic wrap all the way around the cake and the cake board so that no air escapes.

3. Cover the plastic wrap with aluminum foil. Wrap the foil completely around the cake and board so air cannot penetrate the wrapping.

4. Place the covered cake into the freezer.

5. Remove the cake from the freezer 24 hours prior to decorating.

6. Remove the aluminum foil and plastic wrap so the excess moisture doesn't cause the cake to become soggy.

7. Place the cake in the refrigerator and allow it to thaw uncovered.
