For those that ate/will eat their year-old wedding cake

I know this is random. But do you want it to be a private thing, just between you and YH? Or do you think you'll include family/friends if they wanted to join in?

ETA: I'm talking about the first anniversary tradition.

Re: For those that ate/will eat their year-old wedding cake

  • I voted that it was between MH and I, but that was only because that is how we did it. We went to dinner together and then dug into the cake (which was DELISH BTW).

    Ditto this, except ours was gross!  It got a little melted on the drive home from San Diego, then I don't think we wrapped it well enough when we froze it.

    How did you wrap yours up? I found instructions somewhere online. I think all I did was wrap it in foil and saran wrap 5 times and then put it in the back of the freezer. I hope it's not awful!

  • You are going to laugh at this...  We totally didnt wrap it. After our reception, we brought it home in the box the reception place put it in. My MOH threw it in the refridgerator for us as we were leaving for our honeymoon the next morning. When we got back, I just threw it in the freezer. I put a piece of scotch tape on the top to keep it closed.

    I checked on it about 6 months later and it wasnt freezer burnt or anything. Then when we took it out to thaw I checked the frosting for mold. There was none, but I was sure it would have been moldy when we cut it.. Nope, no mold there either... And it was actually BETTER then i remembered it being..

  • i said the more the merrier, b/c our cake was gross and our bakery (baker wee) was going to give us an "anniversary" cake and my sister offered to pick it up and come over. so she came along with the whole clan. it was fun. and maaaaaaaaan, that cake was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
  • It wasn't that it was private between DH and I, it was more because I wanted cake to myself. The reception site wrapped ours and it was wrapped in a couple layers of saran wrap and foil. It looked ugly but it tasted good. I could go for some cake right now. Maybe I'll see if I can get a bakery to do a little mini-cake for this year's anniversary. DH and I have lots to celebrate and we really haven't done so properly.
  • We didn't save ours for our 1 year because we knew we'd be moving probably so we ate it the week after the wedding. It was delicious.
  • boo hoo we didn't save ours. thanks for reminding me, our marriage is giong to crumble.

     

    ;)

  • The top of ours was fake!  mzjackson, I might be with you :)

    Our bakery will make us a one year cake and I'm all for sharing!  We hardly have 'private' moments in our house anyway. 

  • I've got 39 days to go! Eeep!

    I hope it tastes good. I wraped it in a ton of saran wrap, then tin foil, then into a freezer proof bag!

    Our cake was sooooo good and all I got was that one little bite. So I am really hoping it tastes good :)

    I voted just DH and I

  • Well ours is still in my parents freezer in NH and I was in AZ and DH was in KY for our 1 yr. 
  • Our bakery does anniversary cakes for our 1 year, 5 year, 10 year, and I think 25 year anniversaries, so we had a fresh duplication for our one year.  It was yummy!  =)

    I said it was private because I like to keep our anniversary just us.  Now that we have Bella, it will be different, but I still want to keep as much privacy and intimate moments I can with DH and me.

    That took forever to type one-handed.  =)

  • Yeah we had the 1 year cake done by our bakery too. I was not excited about eating a year old cake anyway. Besides that my family basically devoured the top of the cake that my mom brought home for us. I was definitely willing to share. That top cake was so heavy I could barely even lift it. We didn't even eat 1/4 of it

  • Just hubby and I shared our cake.  We got home from our 1 year anniversary trip (little resort in PA since we lived in NJ at the time) and pulled it out of the freezer.  I wrapped it in saran and foil and it was fine.  Ours was yummy!  We didn't get 'cake' though.  Our wedding cake was cheesecake and was served with fresh strawberries :)

  • While I wanted to ensure that the cake was in edible condition, we only waited till our 6 month anniversary to eat it. 

    I voted for the more the merrier option, but we ate the first slices together, alone. After that, that just leaves more cake for us to eat and get fat on so we said whoever wanted some could have some that way it was less for us to eat.
