  Hey Becky!! Baker and cake decorator for over 15 years here. You can definitely decorate fresh cakes. They don’t have to be frozen BUT your icing (cream cheese icing in particular) and your filling are both super soft. The more layers you add to a cake, naturally the more weight will press down on the bottom layers. To help with this, you could add more powdered sugar to your icing to firm it up more. I’d also suggest a much taller icing barrier wall for your filling so the filling can not spill over it as easily. Also, after the bottom three layers, add skewers (I’d personally use a thinker dowel rather than skewers) and then a cake board and then continue with the other three layers of cake. This will help stabilize your cake AND take weight off of the cake layers on the bottom and put it on the skewers and the cake board instead. &nbsp;<br><br>If you’d like an easier time smoothing your frosting around your cake, run your scraper under super hot water right before. That hot water will change things tremendously. <br><br>All-in-all you and your mom did an amazing job of this cake. Bravo.

  I absolutely love when you and your mom cook together. She usually has some kind of tip that she’s gonna tell you about.

  I love how patient and respectful Becky is with her mom. I have seen mom and daughters who make faces and correct their moms even for small things. Good job Becky and what a beautiful meal.♥️

  Hi! My family owns a bakery so here’s my input 😂. It’s not how soft the cake is, it is how soft and fluffy your frosting is. The frosting looks to be over whipped. Cream cheese frosting should be relatively stiff. Freezing the cake just makes the crumb not as much of an issue when frosting. You’re actually better off refrigerating the cake not freezing it. When frozen it will sweat more than refrigerated. When it sweats the cake layers will start to slip and your cake could fall. So with a cake that has this many layers you’ll want to do a few things, refrigerate it so it is cold (not frozen), make sure your frosting is not over whipped (most important for the frosting you are putting between cake layers it’s usually best to use a stiff frosting for this. If you want a curd type filling you can mix it into the stiff frosting), do not use a cake recipe that is too light and fluffy (pound cake is generally used for cakes this height), do not put too much filling between layers. I would have used about half the curd filling between those layers to avoid slipping since this specific filling is pretty wet. I hope this helps!
