I enjoy baking, but don't have a particularly sweet tooth, so I'd like to start freezing the stuff I make so I can just grab one whenever I want it

As a general rule, portion and freeze before cooking, not after. Bread dough should be frozen after being punched down and shaped (give it about one and a half to two hours to thaw after you pull it out of the freezer), cakes and cookies can be frozen once the ingredients have all been combined and put in the pan, and brownie batter can be frozen in the pan or in ice cube trays (cook the brownie in a ceramic ramekin and put ice cream over it). Don't freeze fudge! Meringues will keep forever, so don't worry about them, and preserves without sugar which have been put into jars while still hot will actually keep without even needing to be refrigerated (although they should be refrigerated after opening.) Don't refrigerate rice unless you're planning to fry it.
My mom use to have these cookie she called freezer cookies. You make up the batter roll it into a log and when she wanted cookies you take the log out of the freezer and by the time you preheat the oven the log is ready to slice however many cookies you want to bake.

Um. I know you can freeze relatively porous things like bread, cake, tiramisu freezes pretty good... stuff like that.
