I know genoise sponge keeps very well (it's a bit of a b*tch to make,
by most people's standards, but it's just an example of The Power of
Butter; I'm sure pound cake would keep just as well, not sure about
the others).
I'd bake it, brush it while still slightly warm with a coat or two of
melted apricot glaze as a sealant, cool and freeze. Should keep in
freezer for up to three months or so, then thaw and ice/frost (to
avoid weird condensation issues).
