Yea, I would advise to freeze it too. The refrigerator will delay the onset of staleness but the freezer is your best bet, in my opinion. Wrap the cakes really tight in plastic wrap so they don't dry out in the freezer. And when you pull them out of the freezer, let them sit on the counter top and come to room temperature while still in the plastic wrap. Don't unwrap them until they're warmed to room temp. That should keep the cakes nice and moist. :)

You dont have to thaw your cakes completely before you ice them..it is easier to do that when they are cold....the cakes wont rip or break as easily. And the buttercream will set up faster too. By the time you get the cake to where it is going it will be thawed out. Also dont put the cakes in the refrigerator...they dry out in there. Freezing is best to preserve freshness....

Personally, I don't freeze cakes...(IMHO) there is a taste difference between frozen and fresh cake, but I do understand why it is done. I have great success with refrigerating my cakes (as opposed to freezing). But I am a doctored mix person. Scratch cake making is an art...most of American when thinking of cake only know the moistness of box mixes and don't understand that a truly baked scratch cake is drier than a box mix to begin with so refrigerating them would most definitely dry them out and freezing is probably preferable when baking in advance. But for my doctored mixes, I just let the baked cake cool in the pan on the rack for 10 minutes, turn out onto plastic wrap and cover. Don't pull the plastic wrap too tight, then I cover the plastic wrapped cake with foil and place in the fridge. I would only do this a few days in advance though...it is not going to last like it would in a freezer...but the cake is going to be fresh....I just think that when someone is paying you a whole lot of money for a cake, they deserve to have fresh cake....they can get frozen/thawed cake at Walmart.
