 Many couples make a tradition out of freezing their wedding cake for a year and eating it on their one-year
anniversary. It is considered good luck and an omen for long life together to preserve the top tier of your wedding cake to
eat on your first anniversary. This is a very simple task
to accomplish. Ask a responsible person to take the top layer home. First, this layer should be placed into the freezer immediately
to harden the icing. In one to two hours, the cake should be frozen. The cake should then be loosely wrapped in plastic several
times and placed into a cake box. The cake box should also be wrapped in plastic, and then placed into the freezer. This will
preserve the taste and texture of the cake.
A word of caution: never keep the wedding cake in a frost-free freezer, because
the constant defrosting will draw the moisture out of the cake. If you are moving within the year, leave the cake with a family
member or friend’s freezer after the wedding to avoid moving the cake before your anniversary. When you are prepared
to eat your cake on your anniversary, remove the cake from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator for 48 hours, then place
at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. Your cake will be as beautiful (and tasty) as the day of your wedding!
