Preserving Your Wedding Cake To Eat It On Your One Year Anniversary?

I didn't aha just because I didn't really care to xD and kind of glad I didn't aha my cake turned out to taste not so great anyway

Nope. I can barely contain myself from eat my own birthday cake. I'd eat it all before the year was up! 🤣
We're also planning on getting a cake from a local popular/famous bakery and I doubt my guests will leave any behind! My in laws LOVE the bakery and live further away from it so they devour anything I bring from it. I am expecting the wedding cake to be gone before the buffet.

We won’t be coming home right away to do it, planning to head south from where we get married on a mini trip. Also, FH doesn’t like cake. I’ll probably get fancy for our first anniversary, I made beef Wellington and lava cakes for our anniversary a couple years ago and it was a big hit 😉.

No. Cake doesn’t keep that long. I’m a pastry chef, I would never....but I plan on recreating a smaller version of our cake for our one year though. It’s better to do and you get fresh cake!

Yup! It was one of FH’s requests, and since he’s only had a few, I figured, why not?

I did for my first marriage, and it wasn't bad.

This time I will not, because we will be out of state for our wedding, however we are getting 1)2 dozen cupcakes to eat on our minimoon

No I think
it will be gross after a year. We can go get special cupcakes.

Trust me, in a year it won’t taste like cake. I brought ours home and we ate it the first week. 😂 On our 1st Anniversary we will go somewhere special and won’t be thinking about the cake.

My parents kept theirs in the freezer for about 20 years. They ate some on their first anniversary apparently and then just wrapped it up and saved it for “good luck” (they’ve been married almost 30 years now so I guess it worked lol). They actually only got rid of it because they got a new fridge and accidentally left it out all day. FH and I probably won’t save ours though. Our freezer is full and the bakery we’re using will make us a free anniversary cake

No we are not. FH said he though the idea was gross... there's no way it will be good after a year in the freezer. I agree with him but I was going to do it because I'm a sucker for traditions lol Our baker gave us the option of a complimentary small cake on our one year anniversary. He said he can either make it at the time of the wedding and vacuum seal it or we could come back in a year and he would make it fresh. I thought that was very nice and that way we don't have the save the top tier at the wedding.

I had never heard of this but our cake lady asked if we wanted to. Told her yes but we will probably eat it when we get home from the wedding. We have a small freezer and we like cake 🎂 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Couples have been saving their top tier in the freezer for years and cake can hold that long in the freezer and just thaw it out and enjoy. We are doing this for sure. I do this with my own birthday cake every year!

I don't like the idea of eating something that has been frozen for a year! Our baker offers a one tier replica cake for our 1 year anniversary that we'll likely purchase!

Me and fiancé want to preserve our cake but after meeting with our wedding cake maker she offers a free specialty cake just for our one year anniversary and we all have to do is let her know. Free of charge because she said the frozen cake doesn’t always stay fresh.

We are not going to save the top of our cake. The bakery we chose will actually remake the cake top for us for our wedding anniversary.

We’re moving across the country a couple months after we get married, so I don’t think it will be worth the hassle

Yes, we are totally doing this! I heard that the taste of your wedding cake “tastes like your wedding day”. I can only imagine that eating it a year later and tasting “our wedding day” will bring back memories of our wedding 💗. Of course I’m going to research and make sure we package it correctly for the big freeze!

We are only having a top tier, and then the rest of the cake will be cupcakes, so who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️ my parents saved a slice of their wedding cake that they meant to eat on their first anniversary and forgot. Instead, it stayed wrapped in their freezer, and moved to every house with them. It’s basically been kind of a running joke, but hey! Their marriage has lasted 28 years as of today! (Happy Anniversary mom and dad!) so maybe they’re on to something 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry you didn't love your cake.

I really don't even like leftovers so it was a tough decision for me, I agreed to it because my husband wants to do it.
