One year anniversary :) How was your cake?

So, last night was our anniversary. H took me to Tavern on the Hill, a fancy place about 1/2 hr away. I wore my bridal shower dress, which I love but it's cream so I only wore it once (everywhere fancy we go is wedding related...so white, cream etc. are off limits) and he had never seen it before. I also wore- my wedding shoes, pearl necklace he got me as a wedding present, and my emerald earrings. All of these thing I had only worn once at our wedding b/c they are so special to me. I will start wearing the necklace and earrings more now though. Shoes I think are reserved for anniversaries though. For presents he got me a gorgeous bouquet made of stargazer lilies (just like my wedding bouquet!) and a card (we agreed this counted as paper, and we also decided to not do big gifts b/c we have some expensive house projects on the horizon)...but I bought him a cute outfit to wear and put the tags in a love letter as "paper" ha!  We did cards at the restaurant. When we got home we took out our cake!!! (it had been defrosting since sunday) I was so nervous to open it but it looked good with the exception of a little smushed frosting. luckily it tasted great too!!! not like year old cake. AND my dad had written a cute note on the top of the box because he was the one who took the cake when we went on our honeymoon 4 hrs after our wedding finished. We used our cake cutting set and put the topper back on too. 

So...how was your year old cake...if it made it that long?

if not, when did you eat the delicious cake taunting you from your freezer?

(honestly, if we didn't have a chest freezer in the basement that i forget exists...ours wouldn't have made it!)

Awww...sounds like you had a great dinner. I'm glad the cake was good too!

We took our top layer home from the wedding, but decided to eat it instead of freezing it. We have a small freezer that likes to freezer burn everything, so we didn't really have the room for it nor did we want to take the risk that it would turn into nothing but ice crystals. Instead, I think we had a piece a night for almost a week until it was gone LOL!

I plan on getting a small red velvet (our cake flavor) cake or 2 cupcakes for our anniversary on Sat. I would make a cake, but we're leaving the next day for Italy so we won't be around to enjoy it.

Our anniversary was super low-key. H has been putting in crazy hours at work due to the health insurance exchange opening, but he snagged the day off to stay home with me. Mostly we just relaxed and vegged out together. He surprised me with chocolate and put on our first dance song from the wedding to dance to. I cooked him dinner and surprised him by setting the table all fancy with candles, romantic music, and champagne in our toasting flutes from the wedding.

And I posted about this earlier, but that year-old defrosted cake was surprisingly tasty. We fed each other a bite and he made me promise not to put any frosting on his nose this time.

We defrosted our cake for a bit and then threw it in the microwave to eat it warm. It tasted great!
