Preserving a cake

Perhaps this is in the wrong section, but what would be the best way to preserve a cake once its through with the incubation process. The entire cake is cultivated, however I can not birth it in about..two weeks. I hear that leaving it in the jar could actually kill the cake, though I've also heard that freezing the jar is possible. Let me know what you guys think.
Oh and btw that cake I birthed early is begining to pin

Ahhh man just let the thing pin. It'd kill me to stop a cake thats already doing its thing.
As for preserving it, remove all the pins and excess mycelium. I've refridgerated cakes before for about a week tho and I don't think it helps really. Just make sure the shit is wrapped up nice and tight so it doesnt get dirty.
I dunno about freezing it, it might kill the mycelium, might not. Good luck tho

heh, as much as I'd love to birth it, the suckers are in their jars and fully colonised still. the one that is already birthed and pinning I'm letting grow because its easier to hide just 1 then it is to hide 6 cakes.

are you leaving on vacation? maybe you have a very close friend you can trust enough to watch over your babies.. but thats a risky idea
maybe you should break up the cakes and spawn them to poo so the whole time you are gone, you have a big casing colonizing - but it sounds like you are constricted on space..
maybe you can hold the first entry in the mycology mythbusters forum: does stalling pf tek jars in the fridge work?

Store your colonised PF jars in the fridge. I've stored jars for several months in this fashion and they fruited just fine. Make sure your jars are well sealed to prevent drying.
