HELP!
I have a 3 tiered zebra cake to make for a party next Saturday (Feb 18th). Each tier will of course be 2 layers which is a total of 6 cakes to bake. I only have 1 set of pans (1 10", 1 8" and 1 6") so I have to do one of each layer at a time. My oven averages 40-50min per "batch". I also have to make 5 batches of marshmallow fondant, 6 batches of buttercream icing, 3 small bows and 1 large bow plus cut all the zebra stripes before I can begin assembling the cake. My problem is, I'm VERY slow at the whole process. I was hoping I could bake the cakes and make the buttercream icing the day before. However I do not know the best way to store the cakes overnight. Should I put them in the freezer? If so should I wrap them in something first? Should I put the buttercream in the fridge overnight or leave on the counter in an air tight container? Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and happy caking!!

Thanks Linda. Yes that was a huge cake. We made it through 2 1/2 tiers during the party. We had cake for breakfast for a couple days after the party leaving about half of the 12" tier. We tossed it on Tuesday. Yes my daughter loved it. I can't wait to do my next one, although I doubt I'll be doing a 4 tier'd cake again for a long time. Going to try to stick to 2 tiers or less. That was a ton of work. Took me 17 hours from start to finish. Thanks for everyone's help and support. You guys are AWESOME!!

@June, my daughter loved the cake, however she's not one of these people that get all excited and squeal or scream or cry so her reaction was not what someone would expect. It was more along the lines of Aww, Mom its pretty, thank you.
