I volunteered to make an Ice Cream Christmas cake this year, and am running into the minor problem that it will have to travel on Christmas Day to my daughter's house 20 minutes away.
That probably isn't too much of a difficulty - the problem lies in the whipped cream frosting that is used for encasing the layers of the cake - a bit like royal icing - and for decoration. This is basically whipping cream and icing sugar. I would rather do this here at home such that the whole process has been done in my time, but there does have to be the fall-back option that I do that at my daughter's house just a bit before the cake is attacked.
So the question is - will a frosting of whipping cream and icing sugar whipped to stiff peaks tolerate being frozen? The implication in the recipe is Yes ...'..back in the freezer to chill the whipped cream for 20 -30 minutes', but I would really like to do this stage on Christmas Eve and freeze it over night.
Many thanks
