I freeze cakes uniced, (banana, chocolate, coffee and sponges). Biscuits all different types although not usually iced or filled ones. Slices freeze well especially the likes of caramel and fudge don't bother thawing nice cold when its hot. Muffins, scones, pikelets/pancakes/blinis, waffles. Cream puffs/chocolate eclairs freeze well, these I do fill and ice.
Hope that gives you some ideas

I bake Butter Shortbread - only four ingredients - it freezes like a dream and is edible very soon after taking from the freezer.

Scones are very good to freeze - great as a standby when the unexpected visitor calls in for a cuppa.

Cinnamon Oysters are great. Filled with fresh cream and then frozen. They can be eaten fairly quickly after taking them out of the freezer as even when not 100% thawed they are like an icecream sandwich.

Interesting thing about sweet cakes is that the high sugar content stops them from freezing solid, so it's possible to take something straight from freezer to mouth - if you're so inclined - with only the briefest pauses on the bench while you boil the kettle ;)

Can you freeze cream..?

Yes, I frequently freeze leftover whipped cream.It's a good idea to freeze it in small portions for ease of re-use.

A quick way to have whipped cream ready to be used.. place spoonsful on a sheet of baking paper or some plastic wrap that are laid on a firm surface.. a baking sheet is good.
Freeze, then take the pieces of cream off the baking paper/plastic wrap and return to the freezer in a sealed bag or container.
When needed, take out just what you need - they can be placed straight onto a dessert, as they're in single-serve amounts.

Thanks for the advice. Going to bake this week some of these yummy suggestions. Just saving on money as going to the bakery can be very costly. One more thing. Can you freeze rewena bread?
