Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Unbaked dough can be frozen. Wrap well in clingfilm and tin foil (to prevent freezer burn) and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Loosen the tin foil and clingfilm but leave to defrost in packaging at room temperature before baking and decorating as above. Always defrost and heat thoroughly before eating.
