I want to save my cake for later – can it be frozen?

Yes

How do I freeze my cake? How should I let my cake thaw?

To freeze: Leave your cake wrapped in the Susie G’s box and wrap with a trash bag. Tape the bag closed and place in freezer. To thaw: Take your cake out of the freezer one day before you want to serve it and place it in the refrigerator overnight (keep it wrapped). The next morning you can unwrap it and leave it on your counter (if you do not have a filling). If you have a filling please keep your cake refrigerated.

Whipped cream iced cakes should not be frozen.

How do I transport my cake?

Lay your cake flat on the floorboard or the trunk. Do not hold your cake while the vehicle is moving.
