Can I freeze cakes?

Cakes made with standard recipes freeze well, especially if baked before freezing. Prebaked cakes containing fat may dry out slightly after 2 months; flavor changes may be expected after 4 months. Use pure extracts because imitation extracts may produce off flavors. Cakes keep: egg white cakes - 6 months; whole egg cakes - 4 to 6 months; egg yolk cakes - 2 months; shortened cakes 2-4 months. Bake cake; cool; freeze before packaging for ease in handling; wrap in moisture-vapor-proof material. Since cakes do not freeze freeze solid, place in a metal container or heavy carton to prevent crushing. Thaw baked cakes in their original wrappings to prevent formation of moisture in the cake's surface. A large cake will thaw in about 2 hours at room temperature. Frostings and fillings: Uncooked confectioner's sugar frostings freeze best. Fat in a frosting helps keep it from drying and forming crystals. Candy type frostings such as fudge and penuche are satisfactory if stored no longer than 4 weeks. Boiled and other soft frostings containing egg whites or cream fillings are not suitable for cakes that will be frozen. It is better to put on icing just before the cake is to be served. The exception is the butter-confectioner's sugar type which does freeze well.

Yes. Just set it in the freezer for about an hour, this will allow it to set up and it wont stick to the plastic wrap. Take it out and wrap it in two or three layers of plastic wrap and then two layers of heavy duty foil. It will be fine for about 3 months.
When you want to eat it, just remove it from the freezer and unwrap it. Then let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight.

scrape off the cream cheese frosting , it will freeze fine but will separate whilst defrosting and is quite inedible, scrape it off and when you want to re-eat just make up another batch using cream cheese icing sugar and lemon juice .
