Hello. I have been asked to make a 3 tiered sponge based wedding cake. Can you advise on time scales as I realise sponge cake doesn't last as long as fruit cake. I was thinking of making and freezing the sponges (various flavours) but am a bit concerned as to how many days before the wedding I can sandwich together, marzipan and ice etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It’s a good idea to bake and freeze the sponges ahead.
You can level, layer and fill you sponges and then cover them with a neat, thin levelling layer of buttercream before you freeze them if you like.
Then 3 or 2 days before the wedding I would defrost and do the marzipan layer then 2 or 1 day before I would ice it.
Best wishes
Lindsey
