GTKY: Did/Will you eat your wedding cake on 1 yr ann?

SarahMeyer0823

Hi ladies -

Mine & DH one year anniversary is coming up on the 25th, and the top of our wedding cake has been sitting in our freezer for the past year. Well, sorta. We got married last June and moved from Kansas City to New Jersey in July. The cake traveled with us. One day in dry ice, the other in regular ice. So, I'm a little afraid of what this cake will taste like.

Anyway, just curious  if anyone else did this and just how awful was it?

My DH and I did have our cake on our 1 year anniversary.. and surprisingly, it tasted the same as it did on our wedding day!  I think it's a cute and fun tradition.

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary, girl!

HiLLjO

Happy Anniversary! Ours is on Sunday the 10th. Our cake is still in the freezer but I hope to remove it on Friday... wonder what it will taste like!

ive only been married a month and last night DH opened the freezer and said "are we really going to eat that next year?" I told him yes and he says he would rather call the baker that made it and have them duplicate it and it be fresh... i have to say i agree with him because year old freezer cake doesn't sound appetizing.

We ate ours when we got back from the honeymoon... We barely got to eat any at our wedding.  Our Bakery gives you a free fresh topper of the your wedding cake for your one year anniversary so there was no need to save ours.

I have heard mixed reviews from my friends on how theirs tasted!  Probably depends on how it was frozen and the type of cake.

We ate ours on our 1 year.

Our cake was a homemade carrot cake. (THE best carrot cake I have had in my life.)  I have to say it didn't taste that great even though we made sure to wrap it very well.  I will just remember how good the cupcakes tasted on our wedding day. I should really just make a batch! The recipe had pineapple in it, so the cupcakes were so moist.

I would PIP pictures, but I just lost them all when I changed phones.

We took a bite. It was a bit stale despite having followed strict directions on how to store it. It was edible if I'd been starving, but luckily I wasn't!

I did not keep any cake for my one year anniversary. I don't want to eat cake that had been frozen for a year.

EDIT for spelling.

LiteraryFoodie

Yes, we ate ours and it was yummy!

The baker wrapped it in multiple layers of clingwrap, so it didn't get frost or freezer burn. Good luck! I hope yours is yummy too!

We ate ours!  I was shocked by how good it tasted a year later.

We did eat ours on our 1 yr. and it tasted amazing!  My MIL wrapped it very good, so it had no freezer burn.  We took it out about 2 days before our anniversary and put it in the fridge so it would be thawed out in time.

 Happy early anniversary!

SarahMeyer0823

I wrapped the hell out of the cake and put it in a Tupperware container. I hope it's good too!

I love all these stories I'm also kinda jealous some of you had a baker who would recreate your cake! so cool! 

Deblondie1

We did it! The cake wasn't the greatest cake I'd ever tasted but still tasted good. We ate the whole thing LOL 

I love silly traditions like this one Does anyone know the origin of it?

We didn't do it!  I kept it until we moved from the west coast to the east coast.  I thought about it and decided that their was no way I was going to drive that cake 32 hours across the country.

lol I thought about this too. It was 18 hours from KC to NJ. Guess we'll see how it turns out

We had ours on our 1 year anniversary. I kept nagging DH to eat it sooner since the bakery we got the cake from would make us a new cake for the anniversary. Needless to say it was mighty tasty (to both our surprise) and it was great getting all that freezer space back once it was all gone.

 

Now I want cake....

Gem11

No we didn't save the top tier, we did have leftover of the bottom tier for about 2-3 months after the wedding. Our baker has a deal when you buy a wedding cake she makes you a fresh topper for your one year anniversary. So we ate a fresh cake topper.

JustWonderin805

When we do get married, I bet we will. Unless we both decide to eat it the day after. 

I know, for sure, my cake will be one of my most coveted things at my wedding. I will spend more money on that cake than I will my dress (well, maybe, haha) to make sure it looks and tastes amazing. 

And now I'll go eat a piece of left over b-day cake.

Our one year anniversary is in July so we will be trying it! I'm excited to see if it tastes good!

JilllyBean

We had our wedding venue prep it in case we wanted to, but we ended up eating it at like 1 month I think instead of a year. We were moving and I didn't want to move it. Also, I was planning on getting a new top made for our 1st anniversary, but our 1st and 2nd have come and gone and I didn't do it, haha. And our bakery just went out of business so I guess that isn't ever happening:(

synchrosally

Yep. It tasted like crap.

brookelynpaisley

We did not eat ours. We had a replica tier made for our anniversary instead. We had no interest in eating year-old cake, tradition or not.

cecemama1

I can't wait to eat ours!  Although we have quite a while... we keep it in the freezer in the garage, and every time I happen to open it, which isn't often, I suddenly remember our cake topper, and I can't wait to bust it out next January!

alehayes

We didn't.  I saw what happened to my sister's in the freezer, and it didn't interest me at all.  We were going to order a replica, but it just didn't end up happening.

pgermain11

My MOH's sister made our cake for our reception day (have a Destination Wedding) and I didn't even get to try it on the actual day! It was red velvet with cream cheese frosting in the middle -- boo.

kje120

We did.  I made DH take the first bite since it looked a little funky (split apart) but it was surprisingly good.

purplepeanut6

it took up too much room in the freezer, we threw it out

ShadyKull

We ate ours when we got back from our honeymoon, it was too delicious to potentially ruin it by putting it in the freezer for a year. I plan to order a nice fresh cake for our anniversary.

mrskitton

We did and it was delicious!!!!

Vonbabe

Nope! Our electricity went out one night and even though we never opened the freezer door, DH thought everything was bad so he threw it out. Unfortunately I was not there to protest this action so we ended up having cake from our local bakery. Honestly I wasn't too upset we weren't able to eat our original cake.

Our one year anniversary is on the 17th and we will be eating the top of our wedding cake. My MIL made our wedding cake and has been storing it for us in her freezer. According to her, because of how she stored it, it should taste the same as it did on our wedding day. I've been looking forward to having a piece because our cake was cream filled, except for the bottom layer (for stability). Well the day of the wedding I never got a piece of the cream filled cake, they handed it out to all our guests but not us. I was so disappointed. If it doesn't taste great I'm sure my MIL will make us a new one.

The place that did my cake offered to make me a small six in round for our 1 year, identical to what we had on our wedding day.  I just have to supply the ribbon and flowers.  I am so glad because our cake was amazing!!!

Emma61210

We ate ours.  We actually had a huge family trip to the beach last summer and left the day of our anniversary so we took the cake with us.  Everyone got to share it and celebrate with us! It tasted exactly the same as it did on our wedding day.  It was such a fun tradition!

mhickey426

we did eat our cake on our 1 year.  We did not eat the whole thing but a few bites. The fondant was eh but the cake still tasted good to our surprise.  I really thought it was going to be gross but it wasn't

mndyhywrd

Our baker wouldn't let us save the top tier! She insisted on making a replica for our 1yr anniversary - which she did. And it was delicious!

Twinkie0612

We ate ours and it was pretty good.  I think it can depend on how well the cake was packaged.

WifeyProverbs31

Yup! DH and I have had that big box in our freezer for 8 months now. Only 4 more to go and we'll either be enjoying cake together for our first anniversary or getting sick together :-P

Happy Anniversary!

We got married in St. Thomas and only had a very small wedding cake so we didn't have the opportunity to save anything.  We did go out and buy a couple gourmet cupcakes in the same flavor though to commemorate.  I think it's a cute tradition so I say go for it!

TammyDoubleB

My husband and I will be eating frozen cake on June 18 (a week from Monday)! :-)

o0PinkLilies 6100o

We each took a bite but I couldn't handle eating a whole piece. It was a little stale and dry but I think it was more of a mental thing that it was a year old.  

kaleyandjason

We ate ours and it was sooo good! It was a little drier than I remember it originally, but still very tasty!

ariaforte8

We threw it out. We left immediately for our honeymoon, and my mom stored it for us. It wasn't stored properly, and though we took it home so we didn't make her feel bad - we never actually ate it.
