Wedding cakes take so much time to make and put together. The cake needs to be fresh when served, so it’s best that it’s served no later than about three days from the day it’s baked. If the cake layers need to be baked earlier than that, it’s best to bake them and then freeze them.
How far in advance should I bake a wedding cake?
Most bakeries suggest placing your wedding cake order about six months before your big day. Some smaller bakeries fill their reservations fast, especially during peak wedding season, so booking early will ensure you won’t run into scheduling conflicts.
How early in advance can you bake a cake?
Baking cakes Cakes can be baked up to two days in advance, stored tightly wrapped with plastic wrap in the fridge or at room temperature. Cupcakes can be baked one day in advance and stored (frosted or unfrosted)s in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature.
How far in advance can you frost a wedding cake?
Frosting: Fresh frosting can be made 1 to 3 days before cake is due. Keep in an airtight container and refrigerate. Or frosting can be frozen for up to three months.
