They can be frozen with no trouble. Make sure you place them into an air tight container so they will not absorb "freezer odors".
When thawing remove them from their containers so they won't weep and become soggy.
Good luck and post back

Hello: Nancy O.
Freezing cakes with icing is nothing new. Happens all the time and there is not law that forces sellers and or retailers to disclose the prior has been done. So cake freezing is done all the time and the consumer is not aware.
The instructions above are correct. Cake must not be sealed in any way during the defrosting. The accumulated frost will cause the food item to become soggy.
Best method to freeze cake and or other such food items, is to not seal them in plastic or any type of enclosure that does not allow breathing to occur. That causes moisture to occur during the freezing and after during defrosting.
