Holiday Baking: Bake and Freeze

By:   Ita Artt

Baking for the holidays should be fun. Avoid last-minute holiday stress by baking and freezing items ahead of time. You'll never be short of treats for last-minute guests!

Bake and Freeze Recipes


Lots of baked goods can be prepared and tucked away in the freezer, ready to be used when you need them. Here are a few recipe ideas and freezing tips to get you started.

Freezing Tips:

  • Double-wrap baked goods securely and label the outside of the package.
  • Firm up delicate cheesecakes in the freezer first, so you won't damage them while wrapping.
  • Freeze undecorated cake layers for up to a month. Fill and decorate when completely thawed.
  • Place frozen items in cake carrier to defrost, to prevent them absorbing odors in refrigerator, or thaw baked goods at room temperature.
  • Freeze pies before baking. Nut pies such as pecan pies can be frozen after they are baked.
