Freezing cake advice please

[Allshallbewell2021]

My friend is making various cakes for a wedding in two weeks. She has made one sponge layer (egg, butter and flour).
Does sponge freeze well?
If so what's the best way to prep for freezing?
Many thanks for any advice

What are the other cakes?
I’d would probably have made the sponge cake last & had it fresh tbh as sponge is relatively quick and simple.
It can be frozen but I don’t feel it’s quite the same as a fresh sponge but that may just be me.

@Allshallbewell2021 Yes, sponge cakes freeze beautifully. Interestingly, I have two different cakes in my freezer for a wedding. I wonder if it is the same wedding?

@SiegeOfBees I do a lot of baking and if you freeze a sponge when it has completely cooled down it tastes fresher than if you make it a couple of days before it gets eaten. Buttercream freezes well as well, so I freeze buttercream iced sponges all the time. In fact, a frozen sponge cake is easier to ice than a fresh one as there is no need to do a crumb coating.

I bake large batches of cakes for the charity I fund raise for and they are always well appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Sponge freezes fine, freeze once cool wrapped in a layer of cling and into a freezer bag that can be tied/sealed. I only half thaw it before filling and icing, easier to handle when good and firm. Freeze ready to go, trimmed/levelled/split, whatever is needed.
