Freezing Baked Goods

I love having my freezer well stocked. It's especially nice to have it stocked with baked goods for those busy times when we still would like to have homemade goodies!

Here are a few tips to help you successfully freeze those yummy treats!


*Package food tightly in heavy duty foil, air tight plastic wrap, or water tight containers.
* Baked yeast bread and rolls maintain quality for up to six months.
* Use unbaked yeast bread dough within one month. If you plan to freeze the dough, add more yeast than the recipe calls for. Freezing damages some of the yeast cells, so if you do not add extra, the bread will not rise as well as it would have without freezing.
* Most baked quick breads freeze well but should be used within three months.
* Unfrosted Cakes freeze well.
- Sponge cakes last for 2 months
- Cheesecake lasts for 2 months
- Chocolate cake lasts for 4 months
- Yellow cake lasts for 6 months.
* Baked cookies in a plastic bag will keep for 8-12 months.
* Unbaked fruit pies will keep as long as 8-9 months, Baked fruit pies will freeze for 2 months.
*You can also freeze nuts to use in baking for 6-12 months. (salted nuts do not keep as long as unsalted.)

Happy Baking! (and freezing, lol)
