        <content>In this case, chocolate bread pudding.  Ingredients:  bread, cream, milk, chocolate, eggs, Kahlua, vanilla.

My guests canceled on me and I have it all ready to bake, so I'm thinking of freezing for future visit?  Thanks.</content>

      <content>My gut says bake it, then freeze it.  No practical experience, though.</content>

      <content>I second the bake first then freeze suggestion. It just seems to make sense and I can't say I have done it either, but I think freezing it unbaked might lend itself to seperation of the ingredients so baking first logically it seems might give you a better custard when defrosted and gently warmed.</content>

      <content>So sorry I was unclear.  I meant to bake it and then freeze it.  Good to know I can do it without it losing anything.  Thanks.</content>

      <content>How do you actually freeze it?  with wax paper? Reynolds wrap? white freezer paper?  Does it get wet when thawed???  Thanks.  Thinking of making for my son's wedding and wonder the best way to freeze and thaw.</content>

      <content>I'd wrap in plastic wrap, parchment paper or wax paper, then in aluminum wrap, into a ziploc type bag, if it'll be a long time.  Just make sure to get all the air out. It defrosts fine.</content>
