How long does frozen cake last?

Typically, frozen cakes can last for up to a year if they're kept frozen for the entire period. However, for the most accurate reference, always check the use-by date on the package.

How do I defrost a frozen cake?

Unless it's an ice cream cake, defrosting a frozen cake takes planning. The night before you plan to eat it, remove the cake from the freezer, and set it in your refrigerator for about two hours. Carefully unwrap the cake, place it back in the box, and thaw overnight. To bring your cake to the right temperature for eating, move it to your countertop for about two hours before serving. Ice cream cakes are meant to be eaten very cold. To thaw an ice cream cake, take it out of the freezer and thaw for about 20 minutes.

How do I cut and serve an ice cream cake?

To cut an ice cream cake, use a long, sharp knife. One that is serrated with a pointed tip works best. For a smooth cut, run your knife under hot water and shake off the excess before slicing. Cut round ice cream cakes into wedges and rectangular cakes into squares.
