15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

we were going to have our cake our cake in December...but forgot and then we moved to CA and left our cake in my moms freezer...so we took it out right before the plane yesterday and let is defrost that way...

it wasn't bad...but neither of us finished out slice...but the white chocolate rolls that we had on the outside are still delish...so I am going to take all of them off and use them for something else...or just to snack on them....

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Wow, thats great. I finally threw out our cake. Our anniversary is next month but our cake was so freezer-burned, there is no way we would have been able to eat it.

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Glad you enjoyed your cake from Audreys. we had ours last month and enjoyed it also.

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

EXCELLENT

I'm anxious to take out my cake, but I have 7 months left to make a year

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Thanks for the update...I have mine to taste soon - I wonder how good it held up...I have to get it from my mom's too....I had stored it there becuase when I lived in my old apartment my freezer was just too small....

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

My cake was great too (see anniversary thread) and it was from Lovin' Oven. I couldn't believe it since my mom only double wrapped it in saran wrap and tin foil. I thought the same as you Erica, what should I do with this? Gary doesn't eat cake and I would snack on it every night (not good on WW!), so I gave it to my parents!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

yay! at least it was still decent. The roses were good on my cake, probably because it was mostly sugar. But the buttercream icing was nasty!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Erica - that's great! It's so funny you posted this b/c I just saw a cake the other day (I think on Martha's site) that looked alot like your cake (had the white chocolate curls on the outside of each layer) - so beautiful!

And, not for anything...but at least the chocolate was still yummy!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Mine didn't survive the blackout too well...when we took it out on Sunday, it had a little dot of mould on it. But, we ate a small bite and then ate our backup cake!

Enjoy yours!!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Ours didn't make it too well. We tasted it, but it tasted pretty yucky so in the garbage it went! Glad that you were able to eat something from it!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Mine comes out of the freezer very soon...I cannot wait...

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

We just tried ours on Monday- it tasted fine, the flowers (real, not sugar) preserved their original colors surprisingly, but we ended up both spitting it out..... something about year old food going through my system just freaked me out! At least we tried!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

That is awesome Erica. I was the only one that ate a slice of ours and I put it back in. Maybe at xmas I will eat the rest.

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Mine survived the drive from Long Island to over here (upstate) on a hot day. We put it in the freezer when we got here. On our Anniversary me and my husband said no matter how bad we were going to take at least one bite for good luck. Well opened it up it looked great but it was so freezer burnt!! We took one bite each and to the trash compactor it went.........

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

I scared John at first...he made me try it first...but I forgot that there was strawberries in it...and I wasn't expecting that taste...so I was like

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

What wussie men we have, ROger did the same thing Erica, you try it first, then when I told him it tasted great, he said ok, I trust you with a look like this

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good

Mine was aweful Erica ... glad yours tasted good tho'!

Re: 15 months later and the cake was still pretty good
