How to store a cake overnight and keep it moist before decorating | The right way to store a cake

Storing cake layers in the fridge or freezing them is one of my favorite baking tricks. It allows me to save so much time by baking the cakes ahead, and decorating on another day. Baking the cakes in advance and storing also also makes the decorating job so much easier, when the cake is nice and firm as opposed to crumbly when they are fresh baked. Storing cake layers, if done right, will also keep the moisture and fresh taste of the cake for as long as possible. In this video I share with you how to wrap and store your cake layers as well as how long to keep them in the fridge or freezer for and best ways to thaw your cakes for decorating.

    Hi. Yesterday I searched so much for this info and I couldn't find anything. So I anyway wrapped my 2 layers of cake separately in cling film and put them in a zip lock bag and then tossed in the fridge worried that today on my son's bday it will ok or no. I had made butter cream frosting the day before and stored in the fridge. Now today maybe 2 hours before cake cutting I will keep the cakes out to come down to room temperature and then apply the frosting. My question: if the cake is too dry what should I do. I had already poked the cake and saturated it with milk after it cooled down.

    Yes absolutely! That is almost always the way I do it. Just make sure to take the finished cake out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving so it is not too cold. As for the sugar syrup it completely depends on the recipe you use. If you find your cake are on the dry side then definitely brushing it with sugar syrup will moisten it but if it is already moist then no need :)
