I was wondering how many people still save the top layer for your 1st year anniversary.  If you did, did it taste good, and was it worth it??

If we don't save ours, I only have to buy 1 sheet cake to serve for the reception, but if we do save ours, I have to buy 2 sheet cakes.  I just don't want the cake to go to waste in the freezer.

Let me know what you have did!

Thanks

 

 

August 2, 2008 was the happiest day of my life!

I am a married woman now!!

The woman who is making my cake was upfront with me and basically recommended that I don't keep it.  I went with her advice, b/c this 'tradition' doesn't really seem all that important to me and b/c the cake will take up valuable freezer space and it won't taste good.  FH doesn't even like cake/sweets to begin with anyways, lol.  The reason our moms might have kept the cake is because back in the day they made wedding cake with fruitcake, which preserved better.

IMO, there are much nicer things you could eat on your anniversary then old freezer-burnt cake!

I could not agree more with this! i did my friends wedding cake, and besides that, there was that fact that her husband (and my FH) both love cake enough that we know that in a years time they will slowly eat the whole thing. as such I am making her a small aniversary cake for their aniversary.  Ill be doing the same thing for myself.

We are having DQ make us a two-tier wedding cake. We are definitely not be saving any of it, especially since we will be driving home from PEI to Ontario and there is no way to keep it frozen. Since it's a DQ cake, we decided that on our first anniversary we will just buy a DQ cake again to eat for the occasion

We kept a part of our top tier in the freezer.  Worst case scenario, I bake us something fresh.

The traditional wedding cake was a fruitcake, which I believe you could keep for a year even if it wasn't refrigerated.

We had a cake with fresh cream and fruit in it (husband's request... I would have gone with fruitcake!), so there was no way we were keeping any of it for later

That seems to be a better idea to me

My FH isn't big into cake, but me?  I could probably eat it every day!  lol
