Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We plan on eating it. I took LIW'ers advice and wrapped it in saran wrap, then foil, then in an air tight tupperware. Hope it tastes okay.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We each ate a bite... it was gross!
My MIL saved it for us, I didn't want it save it at all, but since she went through all of the trouble I had to have a bite.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

I put my in the freezer. I wrapped about a 1000 x in aluminum foil.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

My freaking grandma found it in my parents' freezer and ATE IT while we were on our honeymoon....she had no clue it's a tradition to save and eat it....she and my mom dug in and finished it. LOL

So we bought a black forest cake on our 1st and just used that with our cake cutter

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

When we travelled to NC from LI, our cake didnt' make it

And to be perfectly honest, I totally forgot about getting another one (as I told DH I wanted) since there was so many other things going on at the same time

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We saved 1 piece for our month ann and 1 piece for our one year. The rest of the cake we ate the wek after the wedding.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

Im ordering the same cake for our anniversary. I wouldnt eat something thats been in the freezer for a year.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We kept it for a year (with a MOVE 6 months in) and we did have a few bites on our anniversary. It wasn't so bad. A little dry, but the icing sure kept (and that's all I really care about anyway).

My only suggestion is to make sure the flowers (real ones, not frosting ones) are completely off before you freeze it. That was a little gross.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

our one year anniversary was yesterday, and we stuck with tradition and had a peice of the cake.... i have to say, it actually was pretty good! . we had buttercream icing, and that froze pretty well, so i mostly just ate that- LOL but it was pretty good!
we didn't save the whole top layer, cause that took up too much room... just kept enough of it for us to each have a couple bites. we had it wrapped in saran wrap and in a tupperware container.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We ate ours 3 months after our wedding. We wrapped it a zillion times and froze it, and then we decided to eat it when the anniversary of our engagement approached. It was very good!

I don't think it would have still been good 1 year later though. Every taste of 1st anniversary cake I've ever had has been gross--I don't care how well it's wrapped, it's just not as good.

The cake came from a bakery though, so around our 1 year we will buy a small replica of our wedding cake.

We did save the half burned votives that were around our cake--I figured I could light those on our anniversaries!

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

no - ours was so gross I couldn't even eat it on the night of our wedding, much less one year later

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

we ate ours and was just as good as the day of.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We were told it would be gross for the 1 year anniversary. So, by request of other brides, we had it for the 1 month 'anniversary'. It was nothing like it was on the wedding day and was already dry. I'm glad we didn't wait another 11 months.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

we didn't save the cake top. we served it up with the rest of the cake at the wedding. we plan on having a small replica made of the top each year on our anniversay instead.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

I only wraped it in saran wrap I need to wrap in foil also and a freind offerd to save it in his BIG frezzer but I rather it be with us taking up all the space
The idea of only saving 2 pices is a great idea wish I though of that

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

Ours is stowed away safely at my ILs freezer. We did a pretty good job packing it. The plan is to just leave it and eat it on our 1 year anniversary or close to it, since it is in NY and we are in MD.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

We had ours on our 1 year - and shared it with my family. It was soo good!! I couldn't believe it. The next night we still had some so we shared it with DH parents His mom was not at all excited - though she tried to pretend But even she had to admit it was awesome! I was really excited since I didn't get to eat much of it on our wedding night.

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?

we did have ours on our first anniversary...well we tasted it. But as a tradition we have our top tier recreated every anniversary by audreys bakery and it is delicious!

Re: Cake: are you planning on, or did you, eat it at your 1 year anniversary?
