How to Save Your Top Tier (if you really want to)

For those traditionalists out there, here is the method for for freezing the top tier of your wedding cake.  If at all possible, please order a fresh anniversary cake.  It will be fresh, not taste like a freezer, and you and your husband will enjoy it much better.  A lot of bakeries offer this as a free option!

Method for wrapping and defrosting your cake.
1. Place cake in refrigerator the night of the wedding and leave to cool overnight.

2. The next morning, make sure that you wrap your cake very tightly. Wrap the cake so no air can touch the surface with three separate layers of cling wrap. Follow this with a layer of foil, again very tightly wrapped. If you have a cake box, place the wrapped cake inside. If not, simply place the wrapped cake at the back or the side of your freezer.

3. Wait one blissful year, and pull out the cake from its’ deep freeze. Unwrap the cake and remove and discard the wrap and the foil. Rewrap the cake loosely with waxed paper and then cling wrap. Place wrapped cake into the refrigerator overnight.

4. Leave the cake in the fridge until a couple of hours before you want to eat, 2-4 hours. At which point remove the cake and place it on your countertop and let it come to room temperature.

5. Cut the cake with a cake knife or a serrated knife.Share your memories from that special day, and enjoy!
