I would recommend later on they absurd because if you do it while they're still warm, they will stick to the wrap. HTH

I always wrap until they are cooled completely. Well, I have to admit that sometimes they are a tiny scrap warm, but not too much. They come up out okay.

That's what I did. Cheers!

For many years now, equally soon as the cakes are out of the pan, I immediately wrap them in saran wrap. It keeps the wet in & I get raves about how moist my cakes are.

Candyladyhelen, How long do you cool them in the pan earlier wrapping them in plastic wrap? Later on you wrap them in plastic wrap do you lot so wrap them in foil and stick them in the freezer? How long tin can you continue them in the freezer? Lamentable for so many questions but when I saw this post I just had to inquire these questions. I've been wanting to freeze some cakes for a while but were afraid to practice so. Thanks!

I usually cool them in the pans for x minutes and then turn out onto plastic wrap and wrap upwardly. I do leave them out at room temperature though until completely cooled. I haven't had a problem with the cakes sticking yet and they come out very moist.

candyladyhelen Posted 26 Jun 2006 , 2:22pm

I leave them in the pan most ten minutes. Then flip onto a saran lined board. Wrap in saran & if they need to be frozen, in they go.

I read about wrapping while still warm nearly a month agone and I tried it and I had no problem with it sticking to the wrap. My cake was moist besides.

CCCTina Posted 26 Jun 2006 , 2:45pm

I wrap and freeze while warm also. More out of necessity since the cakes seem to get baked at nine-10pm and I want to go to bed! I have tried one recipe both ways--freezing when warm and when absurd, and freezing warm was moister for me.

I take always let the cakes cool completely and so wrap with plastic wrap and it works fine. I will try experimenting with wrapping while nonetheless warm.

If someone does have a problem with the saran wrap sticking, can you wrap in parchment get-go and then with saran wrap.

And exercise any of you all to a higher place wrap last layer with foil?

Cheers

You volition not have a problem with the saran wrap sticking if you let the cake cool completely. People ever ask me if the cake is sticky. It will not be if you let the cake cool COMPLETELY. They are SO yummy and moist when you wrap them straight out of the pan.

Oh no, another practise you lot wrap your cake thread, lol.

Some people wrap their cakes direct out of the oven or after 10 min. of resting in the pan, others, like myself let them absurd downward commencement.

The theory behind wrapping them when warm is that the steam produces more than moisture in your cake. It does exercise this and more. Information technology as well steams the cakes, continues to cook them and changes the texture to a more spongy, rubbery like texture. For some cakes, like the denser variety, this can exist very expert. Simply, for cakes, similar the white wedding cakes, where you desire a light, fluffy, crumb, yous will loose this.

So experiment with your recipe, considering the recipe does matter.

I get moist cakes without this process and if I think I need more wet in them for whatever reason, then I use moistening syrups on the layers, maintaining the texture.

Practice y'all remember it would exist okay if I wrap my cake with press and seal? Afterward yous wrap the block practice you lot wrap in foil and stick in the freezer? Also, practice yous let block unfreeze then ice? Thanks and then much!
