Our 1st anniversary is Sunday, Nov 15th! We didn't realize our caterer had saved the top tier of our wedding cake for us so after the wedding, it sat in a box for 2 days in our house, not refrigerated. ANYWAY, my sister put it in our freezer right when she realized.
#1- Do you think it's gross to even try to eat it since it sat out for a few days?
#2- Has anyone thawed theirs out and eaten it? Was it freezer burnt and gross or actually good?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

actually ate ourWe just thawed our's out this weekend on our first anniversary. It was still pretty good - moist in the middle but a little hard towards the edges. I still enjoyed eating a slice!
No freezer burn. We also put it in the freezer the night of the wedding. I don't know if I would have kept a cake that had been sitting out for 2 days.
1. No
2. Ours was prepared to freeze properly and it actually wasn't too bad. We only had a few bites and then tossed it. But it's nice to say that we did it.

We got ours out and tried but it didn't thaw right and was kind of mushy. The only cake we got at the wedding was the bits we fed each other because everyone else ate it all so we were hoping we'd at least get the top layer. It still tasted ok, but we couldn't get past the texture so we threw it out after a bite or two.
I wouldn't eat yours since it wasn't refrigerated.
My cake was filled with canoli cream and fresh strawberries. Needless to say we both took a bite, looked at each other, spit it out and said happy anniversary! lol
I would just save it and open it and maybe take a little lick of the frosting just for sentimental reasons and trash the rest lol.
This is exactly what we did!!
1. not gross
2. we unthawed ours and it tasted as good as the year before-it was delicious!
This! I thought it was such a nice touch.
Yes, we ate a bite...and it was absolutely disgusting. We dumped the rest of it in the trash.
This is one wedding tradition that I think just needs to fade away!
We did. Our cake which was amazing on wedding day was dry when we thawed the cake. Congrats on the anniversary...mine is today.
1. NO.
2. We did and it wasn't bad. NOT GREAT but it was the thought and idea...kinda mushy moment for memories!
we didn't save ours. we took it home after our wedding and since we didn't get any at the wedding (besides the small bite) we just decided to eat it. i couldn't see wasting it since it was SO delicious. we got our cake from the now Cake Boss and his cakes are amazing! it was carrot with cream cheese frosting. i've heard from friends that eating the top layer after a year gave them the runs, so i figured why bother.
I can't remember if ours was refrigerated while on our honeymoon, (I think so) but we wrapped it up like our cake lady told us to & froze it. & honestly when we thawed it out, it was just as good as the day of our wedding. I was shocked & fully prepared to get sick afterwards, but we were fine!!
Ours was wrapped in plastic, then about 4000 layers of foil, and put in the far back of our freezer. If you don't want it to dry out, you have to put it out on the counter a couple of days before the anniversary STILL IN THE FOIL. If you unwrap the cake and then defrost it, it will dry out and be gross.
But, if you just threw the cake in the freezer in a box, without wrapping it, it will be nasty.
For the record, ours was absurdly delicious. Absurdly. I want some right now, in fact. Our cake man is making the baby shower cake (he made my birthday cake, too!), and I can't wait to get some more!!!
