    Thank you for the tutorial. You are a inspiration. When patrons are no shows it's so rude. I sure hope you keep a list of these people so it doesn't happen again. You are very professional and you made the most of the situation and that is so good. Thank you again

      I have certain family members that we make plans and they are habitual no shows. It use to frustrate me, now I just don’t count on them or get my hopes up. Most of the time they didn’t even bother to call to say they couldn’t make it. I find it so disrespectful but I’ve learned getting upset over it only ruins my day as they couldn’t care less; if they did there would be a phone call and an apology.
      I also stopped inviting them to events so I could have an accurate count of guests to prepare accordingly.

    Love your videos and tips! Question for a buttercream one tier cake - If I were to transport the completed cake in hot weather for about 4-5 hours, would you recommend taking it out of the freezer and putting it in the car in full A/C? Worried about condensation but also heat if I let it thaw

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  3 года назад +1

      I personally wouldn't transfer a frozen cake in hot weather because the temperature change is so drastic (even in an air conditioned car) and you could really have condensation issues.
      You have to gradually bring the cake to room temperature to avoid that problem. Think about it, when you have a cold drink with ice on a warm day (even in a house with the a/c on), you get condensation forming on the outside of the glass. That's exactly what could happen.
      Man, that is a long ride with a cake!
      Good thing is that it is 1 tier.
      I never did that (took a frozen cake and put it into an air conditioned car), so I'm not sure how it will hold up. But on the other hand, if it is frozen, it may travel better.
      I would say if you do it, make sure you have the A/C ON BLAST the WHOLE TIME, you'll need a sweatshirt to keep warm!

    Hi Karolyn, I am so happy to find you. I’ve watched many of your videos. Have a question please, I committed to baking my son’s wedding cake. Due to time constraints, I intend to bake, fill, frost and freeze the tiers such that we just defrost them on the day. I watched your video on this (thank you soo much). My question is, since it is going to be outside in August’s heat. Should I take the cake from the fridge directly to the garden reception and skip putting it on the counter to get to room temperature?
    August on the South Carolina coast is hot and I don’t intend to use fondant as I have no experience with it (nor with stacking but I watched your video)
    Thanks again

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Год назад

      Hi Sylvie! If you're going to freeze the tiers, I would thaw them the day before. Take them from the freezer and put them in the fridge and let it sit in there for up to 24 hours. Then, you want to GRADUALLY bring it to room temp from the fridge. If you take it out of the fridge and put it outside in the heat, condensation will form and it can create a mess!
      What I do is keep them in the fridge until delivery. My car has the air conditioning ON BLAST (I need a sweatshirt). The car is cold so the cake is gradually thawing on the way to the venue. When you get to the venue, it should be okay to sit out. Although I don't recommend letting a cake sit outside in the heat. Maybe it can stay inside as long as possible and bring it out a few minutes before it's going to be cut?
      Make sure decorations are minimal to reduce the risk of them melting or sliding off the cake. Good luck!

    • @sylvies7886
      @sylvies7886 Год назад

      Thank you. It’s a 3 hours drive and we are driving 2 days before which is another reason for freezing. I was going to put the frozen wrapped cakes in a big cooler with ice for transportation then into the fridge for 2 days.
      I will set them on the counter and take it outside last minute as you suggested.
      She wants pearls on it. Wondering if I should put these on it before freezing or after thawing out in fridge. Any thoughts?

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Год назад +1

      You have to be careful freezing a painted or airbrushed cake. It must be slowly thawed so condensation doesn't form. I haven't frozen a painted cake yet, so I'm not sure how it holds up.

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Год назад +1

      I usually freeze my cake layers before I fill and ice them. Doing that helps keep them moist, so I highly recommend doing that! I don't think it's necessary to freeze them as you're working on them. They have to go through a whole thawing process, so the fridge is the way to go. Also, when you freeze cakes and it's hot outside, you can run into condensation issues. If you have to make the cake a few weeks in advance, then go ahead and freeze it. But if you're just making the cake a few days ahead, all you need is the fridge.😊

    I’ve read that freezing cakes that have been simple syruped can cause problems. What are your thoughts?

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  2 года назад +2

      I've heard that if you freeze it, the simple syrup could cause ice crystals to form. I never freeze cakes that are freshly sprayed with simple syrup. However, from my experience, I have have numerous customers freeze their cakes for a later date (simple syrup lightly sprayed on the layers and fully decorated) and haven't had any issues. It may depend on how much syrup you use! I prefer to spray mine on using a spray bottle, so it's evenly distributed, and I don't soak it.

      You can wrap the box! Just make sure you wrap it a few times. Then, take it out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator overnight the night before pickup to start the thawing process. The decorations shouldn't get soggy if you gradually thaw the cake. Don't bring it from the freezer to a warm room, it will be a mess! I would do freezer to refrigerator. Then from the refrigerator to an air conditioned room (if it's hot where you are). Try to keep the cake as cold as possible to reduce the condensation risk!

    Hi! Loved your video! I have a few questions. I'm planning making a princess fondant cake for a birthday party in advance, maybe 5 days advance the actual date. The issue I'm having is I dont know whether I should finish the decorated cake in fully covered fondant with buttercream filling to freeze or refrigerate in a card box as I have no space in my freezer? I'm worried about the condensation as I have never tried this. At the moment, I have freezed all 3 tiers but did not begin decorating with fully fondant as I'll be covering with fondant and decorating. How do I thaw out the frozen cakes? I want to complete the decorated cake and stick it in the fridge with cling film wrapped in a card box but I'm worried about the condensation and whether it can be refrigerated for a week or even less?

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  3 года назад +3

      Hi! I freeze my cakes after I bake them, before I fill and ice them. So to thaw them, take out of the freezer and leave out on a table (still wrapped in plastic wrap) until they come to room temperature. Then you can fill and ice them. I ice most of my cakes on Monday for pickup that coming weekend, so they are iced and in the refrigerator for 4-5 days and I haven't had an issue with them drying out or anything. You want to make sure the cakes are completely iced or covered in fondant when you put them in the fridge so no cake is exposed and it's less likely to dry out. The only time you should have condensation issues is if you are in a hot and humid climate. If it is cool out, then that issue goes away. If you are in a hot climate, to avoid bad condensation you have to GRADUALLY bring the cake to room temperature. So take it out of the fridge and have the air conditioning so the room it is sitting in is cool. If you take it out of the fridge and leave it in a warm room, the cake will sweat.
      I hope that helps!

In that case, I would wait until it's room temperature and the fondant is dry to paint it.

      I personally never freeze cakes before delivery. I only refrigerate my cakes. And I always stack and decorate them before delivery because they get soft when they are in the car and it's more challenging (for me) to try to stack cakes that are soft and susceptible to damage when handing them. So, unfortunately I am not sure what to recommend! If it is very hot where you are, then I absolutely wouldn't freeze it because of the drastic difference in temperature.

      And I refrigerate all of my cakes. I have done that since I started making cakes in 2002. In the warm months, the fondant may get sticky as it comes to room temperature, but other than that, I haven't had issues with refrigerating fondant covered or decorated cakes.

      Hey girl! I don't have a video on that specific topic. But in the warm months, I recommend you keep the cake indoors if possible until it will be cut.

      If you're cutting it in slices, you can remove the plastic as you take it out of the refrigerator. The slices will come to room temperature a lot faster than a whole cake! That's what I would do. And if you are in a warm climate, it will warm up even faster. If you want, you can loosely lay another piece of plastic on top of the slices so they aren't exposed to air and won't dry out. But the loose plastic will be easily removable and shouldn't mess up the icing. I hope that helps!

      @KarolynsKakes  2 года назад

      Hmmmm, I've never used mascarpone cheese so I'm not sure. I did a quick google search and you could have issues with it becoming grainy and it's recommended to whip the icing after freezing it to get it to a smooth texture again. So if you already frost a cake with it, you may have some texture issues if you freeze it.

      I don't ever freeze cakes that I am delivering. I always keep my cakes in the refrigerator and deliver them when they are just out of the refrigerator so the icing is solid and the cake is sturdy during transport.
      I only recommend freezing decorated cakes to save for a later date.

Then, once you remove it from the fridge, it must be brought into a cool (air-conditioned) room to prevent condensation from forming!
