wedding cake

So, if you saved your top later, have any of you tried your wedding cake?  I picked mine up from my parents (they were storing it in their extra freezer) and put it in ours.  I'm curious what you guys thought, if it was any good?

Re: wedding cake

  • I pulled what was left out to thaw a little but never got around to eating it. :(    We did eat some every month for 6 months and it was still good at that point. 
  • We just ate the last piece last night. It was still good. DH said the icing tasted like the plastic that it was wrapped in, but it didn't. He's just delusional. I'm just sad we don't have more. Now I want to recreate my cake every year.

  • How long does it take to thaw out in the fridge?

    Anniversary

  • We had ours, and it was pretty good. Not as good on the wedding day, but still tasty. The flavor was still there, and it wasn't freezer burnt, but the texture was off. My SIL wrapped it up for us, and she had wrapped it in six alternating layers of aluminum foil and saran wrap. It was a pain to get to, but it did keep it well preserved.

  • Sadly we don't have ours since we didn't have power the week after our wedding due to the big snow storm so we had to throw it out. I was really bummed about it since our cake was so good at the wedding!! We'll probably just buy a little cake and eat that instead.

  • Our venue put our top layer in a box for us. We ate some the day after the wedding with ice cream and then threw out the rest :P

    We were living with H's family after the wedding so we didn't have any freezer space plus we didn't know where we'd end up once we moved out. Good thing because I don't think it would've made it from PA to FL okay.

    I had it in the fridge 2 days before our anniversary and it was all thawed out by then.

  • Ours was yummy!! My mom wrapped the box in saran wrap twice then double ziploc bagged it. We let it thaw in the fridge for 2 days then ate it. The decorative frosting was a little crunchy but other than that it's good. I actually am thinking I should eat the last piece tonight!
  • Ours was okay.  Not amazing, but not awful.  I put it in the fridge the night before then removed the foil and cling wrap in the morning before work.  I left it on the counter to thaw while we were at work. 

    We each only had one slice and the rest is still in the fridge.  It breaks my heart to throw it away, but I'm sure it's done!

  • Ours was okay but not as good as the wedding day. It took a couple days to thaw.
  • I'll let you know after the 29th :)

    We wrapped it in foil (and maybe saran wrap...the venue did it for us) and put it in 2 ziplocs.

  • Our wedding was the day of that snow storm, too.  We ended up having the reception on Sunday afternoon and then going home, packing, and going to the airport on Monday for our honeymoon.  We didn't get a chance to wrap it so we ate what we could and tossed the rest in the freezer (but since it wasn't wrapped well, we tossed it).

    Today, we went to the bakery where our cake was from and ordered their smallest cake size for just the two of us.  It's delicious :)
