Freezing The Pamela's Chocolate Cake From A Mix?

Has anyone frozen cupcakes made from the Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix? Do they freeze well? Would you freeze them frosted or unfrosted?

Thanks!

I have some in my freezer right now! I freeze them unfrosted and after they defrost I put on the icing. They taste great and it is so easy to pop one out whenever I need a chocolate treat.

I have put chocolate cake made with the Pamela's Chocolate Cake mix in the freezer before and I found it held up nicely. I just made the cake in a sheet cake pan/ or 9x13 pan and cut it into squares, then I put them into a tupperware container with wax paper in between layers to help keep them from freezing together.

Then when ready to eat I took them out of the freezer and just set them out on the counter to defrost.

I do this all the time also. I have frozen the cake and the cupcakes. I prefer to freeze them as cupcakes, but either works well, I just find the cupcakes easier to frost.

I freeze them unfrosted. I keep my frosting in the fridge and add it after I thaw the cupcake either on the counter or in the microwave.

These are my substitute for hostess cupcakes. I love them.

I do this all the time; in fact, I got a dozen cupcakes in the freezer right now. Anytime my 3 1/2 year old is invited to a birthday party, we thaw one out and put a little frosting on it. And if I'm actually hanging out at the party, too, I bring one for his baby sister and me as well. They hold up great.

I also recently got the bug cakelette pan from Williams Sonoma. I used Pamela's chocolate cake mix, and overfilled the cakes a bit so that they bubbled up past the bug cakelette molds in order to get every detail. I then cut off the bottom so that the cakelettes rested on the plate properly. I froze those extra bits of cake and later thawed them out for use as part of a chocolate crumb dusting on a cheesecake. I would think I could use them for a crust, too, if it's just a little dried out first.

I always freeze unfrosted (not Pamela's but the recipe that I use) and have never had a problem. My grandmother used to freeze cakes with the frosting still on it and the cake part would be fine and the frosting just fell off in chunks.

I just got the William Sonoma bug pan for my birthday - the kids are really excited about it. That's a great tip for the cake crumbles - I'll store that info away for later use :) .

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.
