For those of you who saved part of your cake
When are you planning on eating it?
H & I didn't relish the idea of year old cake, so we were going to wait for the 18th / one month anniversary. Then I got impatient. So it's thawing out in the kitchen as we speak-- er, write.

Re: For those of you who saved part of your cake
We've been picking at ours since the the day after the wedding
Our venue did not box it up well and it sat in my mom's fridge until we got back from our honeymoon and at that point it was a do or die situation so we all started digging it.
I haven't bought cereal since we got back because I have been having cake for breakfast!

Hee! Good to know I'm not the only one who does that!

Planning Bio - Woefully out of date
Our top layer got served. But we have almost the entire bottom layer left. It's in the deep freezer. We plan to eat it on our anniversary, one YEAR. Month anniversaries to me aren't much. Most people can make it a month.
I think our baker felt bad that they killed the top layer so she is making us a new one next year. I love her.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

Our baker SWEARS that if you wrap it up right, it still tastes wonderful. And I trust her completely. But I don't know if I trust the wrapping job by my H and MOH. LOL.
If the cake had fondant, it acts as a barrier.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

Knibs, that's pretty awesome of your baker!
Our baker wraps/boxes up the top tier separately so it doesn't get served and all we have to do is put it in the freezer. We'll eat it at one year as long as we remember to do it. My parents saved their top tier but forgot about it until like 7 years later- they definitely tossed it!
THAT is awesome. Saves you time and effort... and the chance of messing it up.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

It's in a box in my parent's deep freeze cocooned in foil and saran wrap- specific instructions from our baker. Like Knibs' baker, she swears if it's done right, it tastes the same. We'll see in 11 months...
I had a piece of the year old cake topper from when my mom married my stepdad. Now I was pretty young, but I remember it being pretty good still.

Bio updated 8/6/10 with a few pro pics
We're doing this. I think the idea of saving cake for a year is weird. I guess I'm not really that sentimental about food -- I'd rather enjoy it! I liked that we had enough cake to go around so people could have two pieces (which lots did, it was that good!) and why save a whole tier just to eat it a year later? We ended up with two pieces left, so we ate them the next night before we left for the honeymoon while we read our guest book.
We were thinking about saving it and decided not to. I'm super picky about sweets, usually. If I'm gunna get the calories, it better be dang good!! We're just going to buy the same cake but smaller from the hometown bakery we bought the wedding cake from. We'll probably get a big enough one for our family to enjoy- they loved the cake!!
P.S. We had the entire bottom tier left (and a little more!) We put half at my parents and half at his aunt and uncle's and it was gone!
My Planning Bio
We froze just 2 pieces in the ILs freezer. That way if it's gross we didn't waste a whole tier! We dug into it with the ILs the days following the wedding until we left for the HM, and when we returned they had devoured the whole thing.
*EDIT* And I didn't answer the question! We'll try to eat those two pieces for our 1-year.
