How to store cake?
 
After months of prodding, my GF finally made me some carrot cake. Actually, she made about 30 of these little effers.

My problem is that I don't really eat sweets all that much - just occasionally. I will never eat these 30 mini-cakes in time before they dry out.

Is there a practical and effective way to store cakes that prevents drying? They're in the fridge now, but that's probably no good in the long-run. Freezer?

Any other ideas?

Thanks... :)

Carrot cake freezes really well. Wrap them up in plastic wrap and freeze them individually. Air is their enemy, but wrapped up they should last a pretty long time in there.

Sounds good. Thanks Mike. :-:

So true. And you can eat it frozen with little or no deficit.

Hey, MR's to PHX are pretty cheap these days. You bring a bunch of them, and I'll take you to sleazy, but great Mexican food places for lunch.

Just for future reference, most baked goods freeze exceptionally well. Breads, cakes, cookies, pies.. they all do great well-wrapped in the freezer :)

Somehow I can't stop thinking of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine ate Mr. Petermans cake...

There is a shelf-life ;)

I also accept the 'In My Belly' answers :D

Isn't that what the "cake hole" is for?

Yup. This works. We froze the last piece of our wedding cake. Wrapped it tightly in plastic wrap and put it in a Glad container (or something similar). Honestly, it tasted almost as great at our one-year anniversary as it did on our wedding day.
