The top layer of your cake...

Are you going to eat it?  I'm going to try to but I'm picking up dessert for when it sucks.  [Poll]

RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.

Re: The top layer of your cake...

  • we are, but we won't be able to on our actual anniversary...sadly, the top layer of our cake wouldn't have survived the 5 days it took us to move to WA, so it's in my grandmother's freezer in PA still...we'll probably end up eating over Christmas or something!

    I am, however, going to make replicas of our cupcakes (we had 200 cupcakes with a small top layer cake) for the bbq we have on Saturday so that we can pretend :)

  • No, we aren't eating it for our anniversery b/c we ate ours the weekend of the wedding!!  Other than the taste of the cake we fed each other, we split a piece for breakfast the next day.  Then housekeeping threw out our 2nd piece!!

    We ate the top layer on Sunday after church, then brought the leftovers home with us.  We also had a "replica" for my birthday in December (but with snowflakes as a design) .  We will prob. get another cake in December.

  • I answered "special snowflake" even though we did have a cake. We put the top part in my parents' trunk on our wedding night and completely forgot about it. My mom found it four days later...yuck!

  • We left the rest of our cake at the venue, because we were leaving on on our honeymoon. We'll actually be in the area where we had our wedding on our anniversary and we might stop at the bakery to pick up something special.

  • We are (and have already). We moved across the state about three weeks ago, and didn't know if the cake would survive another trip (we moved 1000 miles the day after our wedding ). We thawed it before we left and had some. It wasn't bad! We're going to finish it on our anniversary, and I'm hoping it did alright on the trip.

  • I said Special Snowflake because we're going to be eating a reproduction of the top tier of our cake.  I didn't want to give up the freezer space for a whole year, plus it didn't sound appetizing.  For $20, we got a fresh top tier!

  • We're going to give it a try. 

    Now I need to get it from my parents freezer. Why did I not think of these the 2 weeks I was in the area for a training??

  • Special snowflake - we had cupcakes and a gluten free "top tier" for us. The bakery i got it from gives us a free replica anniversary cake. So...yummy fresh duplicate cake for us on the 24th

  • We are going to try ours too, maybe have a bite or two...My dad was in charge of the cake, and he brought it home, left it in the car overnight...then remembered all about it, and dumped it in tupperware bowl. It's been in his freezer until last weekend, when we picked it up for father's day. The cake doesn't look pretty, but we HAVE to sample it. I think I'll make a back up dessert, too! :) Can you believe it's been a year?!

    Anniversary
  • SS: We intend to eat it but forgot to bring it back from my parent's freezer in NJ when we were up there a few weekends ago. We'll probably end up eating it in August after my parents are down to meet us for vacation

  • We did not keep our top layer.  In fact, ours was served during the reception.  We knew we would not want to eat it and we leaving the next morning for Hawaii and did not feel like dealing with it.  

    Neither of us are big cake eaters, so if we do dessert at all on our anniversary, it will be something fresh and different.  Mmmm, maybe ice cream cake!

  • We get a free cake for our anniversary from our baker. Our venue actually didn't know that so at the end of the night they gave us the top tier that they hadn't served- luckily it didn't seem like the slices that were served were too small! We ended up having to leave it in the kitchen where we ate brunch the next morning so it wouldn't melt, and then I brought some to the girl who watched our dog, left some with his mom, etc..
  • Ours is in my parents' freezer.  We actually ended up with quite a bit left over, and my parents brought some out a few months ago.  It froze really well, and it was still as delicious as it was originally so I have high hopes the top will be too!

  • We ate our top layer last Thanksgiving. We had requested they just serve it at the wedding, but they didn't, and my MIL refused to eat it, and we didn't want to carry it the 4 hours home with us. So she froze it- I dug it out when both of our families were together at Thanksgiving, and we ate it then.

     

    We will be eating it in September though- my brother's wedding cake is being made by the same baker, and they chose the same flavour we did- Yum!

  • We will eat ours before we go on our trip or when we get home.  It is still in my aunt's freezer.  She ended up with it after the reception. I only got a few bites of cake and left it at my place at the head table and then the bussers took it.  I got another piece later, ate a couple bites, left it and the same thing happened. They were efficient that's for sure!
  • I'd love to eat the top layer of our cake but it's in my parents freezer in Ohio! Maybe we'll eat it over Thanksgiving. But we'll have to do something for our anniversary though - maybe some cupcakes or I'll make a fun summery cake for us to eat.

  • I voted no...but the baker provides us a fresh top layer. So it's the same type of cake we had, it's just not a year old.
