When the icing has set wrap the cake in tin foil and store in an airtight container in a cool place. The garage will be fine,.

The cooler, the better. A freezer would be best of all.

You can freeze a sponge, that might be the best option. Don't know about the icing, but I should think it would be ok

I usually freeze mine and they always come out OK. Let it defrost at room temperature.

You're right - the cake shouldn't be frozen after icing. I wonder if the egg in the sponge will be ok after 2 weeks?

Question Author

well, i haven't made it. The lady at the bakers said it would keep for up to three weeks.

i just wondered if my kitchen would be too warm.
