How to freeze a bundt cake
Unfrosted bundt cakes freeze very well, and are a great make-ahead dessert option to make your life easier later!
- Let the bundt cake cool completely.
- Cover tightly in two layers of plastic wrap, or one layer of plastic wrap and one layer of foil.
- Store in the freezer for 1-2 months.
- When ready to serve, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature inside the plastic wrap for 6-8 hours or overnight.
- Once thawed, remove plastic wrap. Add any desired frosting or toppings and enjoy!
I need some advice on making ahead bundt cakes and freezing until ready to serve. I am seeing online that this is possible to do.
Once the cake comes out of the oven and is cooled, is the cake removed from the pan or frozen in the pan?
I am reading that the bundt first be wrapped in plastic then foil. Is the cake in the pan? What are tips and tricks for wrapping first in plastic wrap then foil?
Finally, if I am making mini bundts vs a single bundt cake what do I need to consider?
Just make sure to follow all of the steps in this post and you should be good! No need to freeze inside the pan. This method should work for both a large single bundt or mini bundts. I hope this helps! 🙂
I’m new to baking. I am making gift baskets as gifts and I am going to be making mini bundt cakes to put in the baskets.
My questions are:
1. Can I freeze the mini cakes after they have been baked?
2. How far ahead of time can I make and freeze them and they are still fresh?
Thank you for your time!!

Can you freeze with an amaretto drizzle?
I can’t say because I haven’t tried it, maybe!
I froze a bundt red velvet pound cake. I iced the cake as well. I boxed it up.and put it in the freezer several hours later. My customer said the cake was wet after it thawed out. What did I do wrong??
Was it tightly wrapped in plastic before freezing? Without plastic the cake likely formed condensation as it thawed, which may explain why it was wet.
How long should you freeze a bundt cake prior to shipping, and can you use foiled? to help cover the cake along with the saran wrap. Thanks
Yes, you can use plastic wrap and aluminum foil to wrap a frozen bundt cake. And 12-24 hours is probably all the time you need to freeze the cake solid. Make sure the box has plenty of cushioning, and it should ship pretty well!
Hello will freezing work on a 7up pound cake? And how long do u let it cool in the pan before flipping it out?
I usually let a bundt cake cool in the pan 10-15 minutes, then flip it out and cool completely. And you should be able to freeze any kind of pound cake!
Does this freezing method work with mini- bundt cakes?
You bet! It will just need less time to thaw.
I made my bunit cake 2days ago.can I still freeze it for Christmas
