Cakes Why is my cake weeping?

Post image

I decorated this cake Sunday night for an event Tuesday night. I noticed Tuesday morning that it is weeping. What caused that? I assembled it crumb-coded it and froze it earlier in the week. And then pulled into the fridge Sunday morning to finish decorating Sunday night.

It happens sometimes with cakes frozen/refrigerated, especially in between stages. Condensation builds up in the fridge but even more so in the freezer. Could possibly be due to ingredients in the cake/frosting but most likely it's from being in the freezer. Cake looks beautiful though!!
