Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

This is my first wedding cake due in 2 weeks.  It will be a fountain/stairs/2 plate system cake.

I just wanted others opinions/advice on a baking schedule.  I have a 16" and 12" round but NO freezer room and it was recommended that I wrap very well in seran when slightly warm.

I have the following cakes:

16" round

12" round

9" round (2)

8" round

6" round

1 sphere (save the cake)

Looking forward to hearing from someone,

 

Thank you,

Lisa

Is your freezer completely full? If you can rearrange the freezer some, I, personally would bake the 6" 8" and 9" cakes and stick them into freezer bags and freeze them, or, place them into the refrigerator inside the freezer bags until the day of decorating. Then, the day before the decorating begins, bake the 12" and the 16" layers and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and that should keep them fresh. If and when any of my layers appears to have gotten dry this way, I use the coffee syrups you can buy, (whatever flavor that would be compatible with the cake, almond, amaretto, or vanilla for white cake, and there are so many varieties of brands and flavors to choose from that the possibilities are endless) and pour or brush onto the cake and that moistens it up beautifully.

Thank you so much Linda for the advice...never heard of the 'coffee' idea!  Sounds fantastic! 

I could probably squeeze the smaller cakes into the freezer, but def NOT the 16 or 12.  I'll take your advice and wish me luck - my first 'official' wedding cake.....yikes!!!!
