Can You Freeze Bundt Cake?

Bundt cake will hold easily, bag it securely, use it oldest first. Judge it by texture, later on, it keeps its molded ridges and moist interior, glazing better after a full thaw, bundt cake stays about 6 months. Cake freezes better than almost any dessert — the crumb holds, frosting acts as insulation, and a wrapped cake tastes freshly baked weeks later. Cook with it — brunch and coffee mornings are where it looks best. Glaze after thawing, never before — frozen glaze cracks along the bundt grooves and flakes off when the cake flexes on removal.
