fairy cakes - how far in advance can i make them?

[olivo]

i have volunteered to make some cakes for a children in need sale on friday but how far in advance can i do them? and do i have to ice them at the smae time, once they are cool. can, i for example, make them this evening, then ice them tomorrow evening?
sorry if this sounds really dumb but i dont really do cooking and baking!
TIA!

you can freeze them.
sorry, couldnt say anymore
not a big cake maker

thanks taxidriver! I'm not a cake maker either - not sure why i volunterred

If you do freeze them it's best to ice them after you defrost them rather than before.

ok -so i could make them today, freeze them ,defrost them tomorrow afternoon and then ice them tomorrow night?

I'm not sure 1 days freezing would have much benefit. I would just keep them in an airtight tin.
Fairy cakes don't last long in this house but still moist on day 4, longest we've ever kept any.

As long as you ice them as soon as they are cool they should be OK for Friday
They will be fine in an airtight container

thank you . will dig out a tupperware box and do them tonight. cheers!
