Freezing home-made baked goods - any tips?

Three weekends of celebrations coming up and I am making some sweet treats for each weekend. I was hoping I could just batch cook everything over this Bank Holiday while I have lots of free time. Problem is, I'm not confident in what can be frozen for maximum freshness. I don't want the third weekend cakes to be crap compared to week 1....

Making:

  • Salted caramel brownies - concerned that if I freeze these, the caramel in the middle will never be gooey again. Bung in oven for a couple mins to resurrect?
  • Choc orange brownies - I suspect will freeze OK
  • Lemon cupcakes & chocolate cupcakes. Concern with both is a) do I frost them first before freezing and b) the liners go soggy once thawed?
  • Various kinds of cookie pies. I know these freeze well so no concerns there.

cupcakes are absolutely fine to freeze but just freeze the sponge before you decorate them. afraid i've never tried freezing brownies but the chocolate ones should be fine.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm optimistic that a couple mins in a warm oven will help the brownies. Well, fingers crossed!
