Freezing/Refrigerating Lemon Mini Cake Batter - Advice Needed!

[RunawayChef]

I want to make the lemon mini cakes, but I don't want to make 6....because I just might eat all of them. Can you freeze the leftover batter? (if not, how long can it be refriderated for?)

Thanks in Advance!!

I would GUESS keep it in the fridge for a week? why not make the lemon cakes and freeze them>? Then you just grab one when you want it and let the defrost.

Oooo, that's a good idea, bake them THEN freeze them! Good luck!

You can freeze mini cakesi did make 6 cakes and then freeze 4 of them.
i tried 2 frozen without the glaze and 2 frozen with the glaze.
both worked but i prefer to make them and freeze before the glaze - then make the glaze fresh
to thaw the cake i popped in the microwave for 10 second intervals til warm.

Wow!!! Thanks! So, you just freeze them in the prep bowl?

Ami...I would take them out of the prep bowl, wrap them securely (indivudually) in saran wrap so they are air tight, then pop them into a freezer bag. Press out as much air as possible. When freezing, it's when air hits the food that you get ice crystals and dried out spots!

We stored our baked in the fridge for a couple days. The only difference that I noticed was that the lemon gets a little tart. It would flavor the cake right underneath the lemon and really pucker you up when you ate the cake! Otherwise, they are fine in the fridge.
