re freezing cake?

Hi guys, I know you are not supposed to re freeze anything, but If I were to re-freeze a cake, what is going to happen to it? will it poison me, or will it just Deteriorate?
I made a cake last week, took it out today to add buttercream filling, just realised that it is enormous! so I would like to put half back in the freezer for another day, the buttercream has not been previously frozen, just the cake, it was put in the freezer immediately after cooking/cooling, and when I took it out it stayed in the fridge, so what do you think?
( I know some people will say just eat it!)

I have no idea of the answer but i do have a solution.

Im a great cake lover, i scoff all kinds of cake, I will also travel quite a distance for some free cake...

Sooo providing your within say 1000 miles, I will walk to you, pick up your free cake then dissapear.

But then this leaves you with a problem..

(you should probably sit down before reading the next bit, im nearly in tears just thinking about it)









You will have no cake left :eek:

You obviously only have a large cake tin or you would have made a smaller one in the first place.. sooo what im thinking is you make say one huge cake a week, have your slice out of it, then I can come and collect the rest.

This is a very good plan and benefits all the parties involved, you dont have to worry about getting poisoned by refroze cake, I get free cake, your local shop keeper keeps getting your money, the goverment gets their tax, thus the ecoomy is kept going, do you really want to make the economy fail due to you being selfish and not giving me free cake

I would suggest cutting the cake in slices before freezing it.This is what I do,and it means that you just take out what you need.

I have also frozen cake with buttercream icing (coffee Victoria sponge) and there were no problems.In fact,you wouldn't even know that the cake had been frozen then defrosted!

Just a slight possible lack of quality is all! it can't poison you!:)

Ill merge this with freezing quick qs later

You may lose a little in texture and flavour quality I'm pretty sure it's unlikely to make you sick! it's not meat after all...
