With my Dry July challenge I'm thinking of hosting a morning tea at work where I can just set everything up in the communal area and people can help themselves and donate a gold coin for anything taken. To make everything myself with my already full up schedule I thought I could make one thing each night and freeze and just take out of the freezer on the morning of the morning tea and arrange on plates for people to help themselves. I'm not much of a sweets eater so not sure what I could freeze in advance in the way of slices etc - any ideas would be appreciated.

Muffins, banana cakes, most biscuits, carrot cakes can all be frozen.

Cup cakes  & ice the evening before. Little quiches if people dont mind them at room temp.

Wonder, the recipe I posted for zucchini, cheese and bacon mini quiches is quick and easy to make and freezes really well. They're great little party or morning/afternoon tea snacks and are yummy warm, cold or room temp ;D

Muffins, cupcakes (ice the evening before like Hally said), most plain cakes like chocolate, banana, marble, butter, coffee... just ice them the evening before as well ;)

Nonomix's banana and choc  "to die for" cake makes 2 loaves and freezes very well...and it is to die for.

Mini quiches, JD's chicken and vegetable loaves in the lunchbox thread, pinwheels, arancini balls.

mini fritters, blinis...most things can be frozen

Thanks everyone.  I'll have to see how many dishes I can conceivably make and think about the logistics a little

You can make some biscuit dough, cut it out into portions and snap freeze on a tray then into ziplock bag.  Just pop in the oven for 15 mins in the morning (or the night before).

Another one that goes very well is 3/4 pack arrowroot biscuits - crushed, 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts, 3 tbs cocoa and a can of condensed milk all in the TMX and ground up. Roll into balls and roll in coconut.  Freeze well, taste delicious and not expensive to make.
