Tip Tuesday: What to do with Left Over Cake?!

      Left over cake is definitely a first world problem, however, if you should find yourself in this situation and pondering what to do with it….remember that the FREEZER is your FRIEND. Many people think of the freezer in terms of bake goods as a terrible thing, but this is a big misconception. Most people won't think twice about poping the left overs in the refrigerator. Refrigeration involves dehumidifying the air to cool it and therefore is a bad idea. Refrigeration will dry out your cake unlike the freezer. If you have left over cake and aren't going to eat in within a day or two your best option is to freeze it at the peak of its freshness and pull it out when needed. In fact, the icing on a cake can even help preserve and insulate the cake in the freezer- it will stay more moist after being frosted and frozen.
      So what is the best way to freeze left over cake? Clear out your freezer an put the iced cake on a tray in the freezer, completely unwrapped. Let it freeze until solid- at least four hours. Then remove and wrap securely in plastic wrap and a final layer of aluminum foil. When it comes time to enjoy it, just remove it from the freezer hours prior and let it come to room temperature.
