I want to make this for my daughter's birthday, which is right after Thanksgiving. We are going to relatives Wednesday to Saturday and want to serve it Saturday evening when we return home. Can I freeze the assembled cake? There are 3 alternatives I can think of: 1) Make the cake & assemble it on Tuesday and refrigerate it for 4 days ... could get stale. 2) Make the cake & assemble it on Tuesday or earlier and freeze it. The custard may not freeze well. 3) Make the cake, freeze the cake, make the custard & Grenache and refrigerate them, and assemble it all when I return on Saturday (warming the Grenache first). The custard may go bad and the cake won't have time to "meld flavors". Which would be best or do you have another idea? Thanks!
