Can an iced cake be sliced and frozen?

Yes, iced cakes can be sliced and frozen. Here's how to do it:

1. Chill the cake thoroughly. Before slicing, place the iced cake in the refrigerator or freezer for at least an hour. This will make it easier to slice without damaging the frosting.

2. Use a sharp knife. Use a sharp knife with a serrated blade to slice the cake. This will help prevent tearing the frosting.

3. Wrap the slices tightly. Wrap each cake slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

4. Place the slices in a freezer-safe container. Place the wrapped cake slices in a freezer-safe container with a lid.

5. Freeze for up to 2 months. Iced cake slices can be frozen for up to 2 months.

6. Thaw before serving. When ready to serve, thaw the cake slices in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.

Tips:

* To prevent the frosting from sticking to the knife, dip the knife in hot water before slicing the cake.

* You can also slice and freeze unfrosted cake layers and frost them after thawing.

* You can also freeze decorated cakes, but it's important to note that the decorations may not hold up as well as the frosting.
