My husband and I personally skipped this tradition. We figured if we wanted cake on our 1 year anniversary, we would buy a new one. One-year old stale cake didn't seem appealing. However, if you would like to partake in this sweet tradition here are some things you should know:
- Heartier cake flavors, like chocolate and carrot cake, will last better than cakes with fresh-fruit or whipped cream fillings.
- Make sure to tell your caterer or baker than you intend on saving the top tier of your wedding cake, so that they set it aside instead of serving it up.
- Before wrapping your cake up, chill the cake so the icing hardens, and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Don't use tin foil, it can cause freezer burn.
- Seal the cake in an airtight bag and place it in the freezer.
- Thaw the cake in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before eating.
