I freeze them all the time, normally do a big batch and then freeze them in bags of six. As i have three children and one bag lasts two days and comes in handy for school lunches or afters.Success means having to worry about every thing in the world......EXCEPT MONEY. Johnny Cash

Hi, I have made a batch of shortbread type biscuits for xmas presnts that I want to freeze ready, to be even more organised I wanted to ice them too, can I freeze iced ones?

Personnally I would say freeze them without the icing. The moisture in the icing will probably cause the biscuits to go soggy when they are defrosted.I like to live in cloud cuckoo land :hello:0

I'd freeze them without the icing too as I've seen some posts on OS that say people have had trouble with icing running after it's been defrosted.
I know it's not the same thing, but the replies on this thread might help you: Ice fairy cakes before or after freezing?

Yes you can. You need to open freeze them first until firm, pack them as normal. Remove them from all packaging to defrost.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to be making some fairy cakes today to freeze for my daughter's birthday. Can I decorate them first, or is it better to wait until they have been defrosted and do it the night before? Any other good recipes for cakes that can be frozen?"Failure is always an option"

Most cakes can be frozen. Usually the mximum time in the freezer is about 3 months. With the fairy cakes, i would open freeze them undecorated and then ice them after they have defrosted.
I have found it quite useful to freeze slices of cake which are then handy for lunchboxes etc.0
