You can bake it tonight and freeze it (just the cake), then ice it Friday night or Saturday morning.

Do you really mean no one will eat it?!

Do do it. Wait till Friday night. The frosting will look dry, crusty and gross by Sat.

you could, and it won't kill anyone, but it won't taste very good either.

if you are not eating the cake AND you are using FONDANT, then I think you can do it now. If you are using regular frosting (not professional types of sugar), then it's too soon. Max. 48 hrs before or it will dry out, colors may bleed, and generally look "old."

/decorate a birthday cake? Can I bake it tonight and decorate it tomorrow for a party on Saturday? Not planing on eating it.... just for decoration/place to stick a candle purpose. The decoration consists of icing only.
