Freezing Sponge Cake

There are a number of events coming up shortly and I want to prepare, if practical, a few sponge cakes and sausage rolls in advance.
As regards the sponge cake are they freezable, I’m just talking about the actual sponge - no filling?

How should they be frozen? My thoughts would be to freeze top and bottom individually. Open freeze then wrap in parchment paper/cling film or something else? In addition an otter coat of tin foil? A potential problem might be dampness affecting the actual sponge.
Of course how long will they keep?

I freeze separate layers of cake wrapped in parchment & then foil, and seal into a plastic bag (reused) labelled with date & flavour. I freeze for a month max.
When you come to fill them, fill & crumb coat with buttercream while frozen; if you need to carve into shape, do that while frozen too.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

My husband loves Victoria sandwich sponge. I sometimes make one, then buttercream and jam sandwich them together, cut into slices, wrap the slices in foil and freeze. No issues at all with defrosting and eating. Unwrap, onto a plate, cover with the tinfoil loosely and half an hour later eat.
I would think frozen sponges would be easier to fill?
If you want to see how it works then try doing just one to see how it turns out?2 -
I've frozen trifle sponges for months with no deterioration of taste or texture - I would think Victoria sponges are similar
