We have the entire top of our cake just chilling in the fridge...I know most couples save it in the freezer, and take a bite on their anniversary...do people still do that??

Yes, I think on your one-year wedding anniversary, you're supposed to take it out of the freezer and have a bite of it each, with champaigne!

Wrap it in 2 layers of saran wrap and then one layer of aluminum foil and freeze. I don't know what it will taste like a year later, but it seems like a nice thing to do.

I have heard its pretty horrible after one year-but people still do it. I guess its a superstition(sp?) I dont know if I will or not...maybe

Re: What to do with your cake top after the wedding??
we had a thread about this before. (not sure if it was on BHB, though)
A lot of people thought the cake was fine after 1 year. My cake top was GREAT at the 1 year mark. In fact, we had people over and a bunch of them wanted to try a bite, and then a piece, and then the whole thing was gone
I wrapped it in like 10 layers of the heavy duty saran wrap and then another 5 or so layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.
Also, every 4 months, I took the 'package' out of the freezer for approx 1 hour and then put it back in there to prevent freezer burn.

I would sooner put my cake in a piece of freezer- safe Tupperware than foil. Aluminum foil is linked to Alzheimer's disease. My father had Alzheimer's Disease and if I could prevent it, I would. Mom used to wrap EVERYTHING in foil. Not saying he wouldnt have gotten it anyway, but I thought people might want to know.
(P.S. - I used to sell Tupperware and learned that tidbit in training)

My hall packed it in a box and I wrapped the outside of the box in 3 layers of Saran Wrap followed by 5 layers of foil. I plan on de frosting and eating in about 9 months!

It's not too late! Take that sucker out and wrap it in Saran Wrap...you have a little while to go.

If you don't want to eat that specific cake top for your 1 yr anniversary, a lot of couples have found an alternate, by re-creating the exact cake top, and having a fresh one.
However, you can get that one wrapped a million times with saran wrap/aluminium, etc...and have it defrost a day before your 1 yr.

My BF and her husband did that but within that year that was the blackout so the cake went bad but they did have a bite of bad cake to celebrate I know FH and I are saving it and going to eat it on our 1 year anniversary...or take a nibble anyway.
