I have two halfs of a red velvet cake and a praline cake leftover from Thanksgiving. Will they both be okay to freeze? If so, how long will they stay good frozen?

Yes......make sure you wrap them well in aluminum foil and they should be fine. I wouldn't leave them in the freezer longer than 6 months.

the top layer of a wedding cake is ususally frozen, icing and all for a year. If there is icing on a cake, usually it freezes okay for 6 months, without icing a year is fine. I've frozen cakes and they're a little dryer then when first baked but they still taste fine.

Wrap very well in several layers of plastic wrap and they will keep up to a year in the deep freezer, 6 months in a fridge freezer.

If they are already frosted it will be tricky to freeze them, because odds are, the frosting may get watery when you thaw it out. But both should be fine. I wouldn't leave them longer than about a few weeks though.

Cake: To preserve frosted cake (whole or a slice) place it in the freezer uncovered until the frosting is firm - about two hours. Wrap in plastic, then in foil. To thaw, unwrap the foil and the plastic, then reshape the foil so it creates a tent over the cake. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
