Will you be saving the top tier of your wedding cake?

We saved half of our top tier of our wedding cake to eat on our one year anniversary. Surprisingly, it was still moist and everything just like it was on our wedding day.

It’s in the Freezer.

Negative. We have no interest in eating year old cake.

We are saving ours. No guarantees it will make it to the 1 year anniversary, I love sweets lol

Not keeping it, won't even get one to keep. Like PP above, I have no interest in eating a cake a year old...blech

Nope, we're planning on having the entire cake cut up to feed our guests. The bakery we're going with is in our town, so we may order a small, fresh cake of our favorite flavor for our anniversary.

We won't be. We aren't having a huge cake and going for cupcakes instead. We are getting a small cake for cutting, and I don't really plan on there being anything left to keep!

I felt the same way, that's why I asked my mom to keep it in her freezer for us.

Ugh, no way! My husband did that for his first marriage, and they ate it on their first anniversary. In his words, "it was like eating cardboard." It was all freezer burned and dried out.

Maybe this worked in the last century when people had deep freezers, but now, it is just gross.

Traditionally, I have read that the top layer was served a year later because it would become a 'baby shower' cake.

Incidentally, we didn't even get to eat our cake, except for the ceremonial first bite.

I might if we were doing a traditional cake. But we're not. We're doing a small, one-tier cake for the cutting ceremony. The guests will get a variety of desserts from our dessert table.

So, for our anniversary, I can go one of two ways: I can have our baker make an anniversary cake for us; or I can make a cake I like to do at home. It's one of FHs favorite things I make, and he always says it's "the best cake ever in the history of cake." LOL So I thought that might be a nice anniversary surprise for him, to get his favorite cake.

I didn't aha.

We have it saved at my parent's house. I'm sure my mom will try to get me to take it home. I don't think it will last in our freezer and through a move next year. If it doesn't turn out I will get a new one from our bakery.

We didn't save ours. The bakery we chose remakes the top tier for you for your first anniversary, so that we can have fresh cake instead.

We did a dessert bar at the wedding and didn't even have cake! Instead we purchased two really nice bottles of wine and drank one at the wedding and are planning to drink the other on our one year anniversary.

We had olive garden chocolate mousse cake doe our wedding, so we will be going to olive garden and ordering a piece of that cake ) we can have it whenever we want 😁😁😁🍰🍰🍰🍫🍫🍫💕💕💕

So we saved ours until November cause that's when our dating anniversary is. We got married in October. Well the cake was awful. It had this freezer burn taste. Maybe it wasnt protected enough? Well we ended up getting a new one from the bakery for our one year. I recommend doing that instead.

We planned on saving it... then we went back to the venue the day after our wedding to get all our decorations and forgot to get the cake top....oops RIP Wedding Cake lol

No, we did not. My sisters did it because mom insisted and they said it was awful and not to do it. So instead we went back and had cupcakes on our anniversary and then the second year we ordered mini cakes of our cake flavors. I highly recommend that, we are lucky that our bakery is a coffee shop/breakfast place/cupcake shop so we can do this but some my not be able to. I recommend it for sure! We are even planning to get our baby shower cake/cupcakes through them! Hope this helps💕!

Attached photo of our mini cakes (not the same decor as our cake but we don’t mind)...

We did not. Our baker is making us a fresh one for our 1 year anniversary in the flavor of our choice!

I think the plan is to try to save it, but not sure if we will actually remember to wait. Itll have to be in my parents’ freezer because we don’t have a deep freeze.
