Any cakey people about?

[pigleychez]

DD1's 4th birthday party on Sat and im making attempting a princess castle cake for her.

Stupidly busy this week so wondering how far in advance I can make the cake. Im planning a Madeira.
If I made the cake today, would it be ok to ice on Fri afternoon/evening?
If so how would I store it?

thanks :)

In case you get no answers, you might want to try the baking thread :)

Brilliant! Thank you... didnt even know there was one!

If you made it early in the day and wrapped it well, you could freeze it until Friday.

Make it now, wrap in a layer of foil and then clingfilm and freeze it. You can ice it frozen (often much easier this way as it crumbs less and is easier to handle without squashing/falling apart). Good luck!
