Make sure your sponges are baked and cooled fully
I tend to keep the parchment paper on the bottom of each sponge as this helps prevent the sponges sticking
I stack the cooled layers and then wrap completely in a layer of cling film
I then wrap it all again in a second layer of cling film
Finally, I wrap in a layer of foil
To thaw I place the cakes, still wrapped, in the fridge (evening before if you need them in the morning)
I tend to still decorate my sponges when cold, as they will continue to thaw as you decorate
Chilled sponges can often make decorating far easier, especially drip cakes
Thawing in the fridge helps keep the moisture in the sponge, room temp can dry the sponges out more
I freeze all sponges, of all flavours this way
I freeze for 3+ months
How long it takes to thaw depends on how many layers you have frozen so generally taking out the evening before is best
The cakes stay beautifully moist, fluffy and perfect - don't be scared of freezing cakes! It does NOT ruin the cake
