I just read this...guess it does not make sense for us to eat it anyway
"Saving a part of your wedding cake to eat on your 1 year anniversary is an age old tradition. The tradition originated from the belief that by the time of a couples first wedding anniversary there would be a baby and the couple could serve their wedding cake at the babies christening. This came from an era where the sole purpose of marriage was the procreation of children.
We don't have a baby, thus no christening.... but, we are planning on trying a bite of our cake on our anniversary :)
We didn't eat our cake because we were moving away and it wasn't worth it to transport it. My husband doesn't like cake much anyway.
We have ours in our freezer and plan to defrost it this weekend! I'll let you know how it tastes. 
@ddubzz: we are ALMOST date twins :) let me know how it goes...
I think my mom might have, but she is across the country. We will eat it probably before our first so is not gross. Nex time we are there.
We ended up not keeping ours.. BUT since all we had was a small 1 tier we're just going to get an exact replica.. it was a whopping 20 bucks so I think we should be able to swing that. lol =)
We didn't save ours. I'm planning on making cupcakes in one of the flavors we had at the wedding. I've always heard that it takes like crap, though, because most people don't properly prepare it for freezing (and since we didn't save it, I didn't read up on what to do to properly store it to avoid tasting like freezer-burned crap). I can't imagine serving that to guests at a christening, though. That just seems mean, lol.
ETA: Happy Anniversary!
We had such a small wedding and wedding cake that the whole thing was consumed at the reception. I'm thinking I might go in to the bakery that made the cake and have a small replica made of the cake topper for our anniversary on Sunday :o)
I was under the impression that you could only keep the cake (at least here in the UK) if you had a traditional fruit cake, as the fruit cake keeps its flavour and moisture for much longer than ordinary cake. I cant imagine that a sponge cake would be very nice at all after a year, as it goes stale..
I could very well be wrong though, i'd love to hear if it was tasty!
We actually had no intention of saving our cake for our one year anniversary but my caterers were sweet enough to set it aside. I was so excited to have it for breakfast the next morning....until I realize I left it in the trunk overnight. In summer.
No leftover cake for me!
Just like Gerber, our caterers put it aside for us and we had if for breakfast the next day. It made it into our hotel fridge but not in one piece. Someone clearly picked up the box without realizing it was cake and by the time I tracked it down it looked terrible but tasted delicious. I wish we lived near the baker so we could have a recreated cake on our anniversary. I will try to get a local baker to make a similar cake and hope it's as good.
We ate ours. Well we had a bite, and it was so gross we didn't go any further. But I'm glad we did it, it was good memories!
Is there any place you can get the same kind of cake to eat?
I get its tradition and all but were not. Our cake people do a top layer again for free if you call a few days before your anniversary. :)
Our cake bakers make us a new top tier of exactly the same cake for our one year anniversary for free, so we'll be doing that!
Our bakery includes an exact replica of your top tier for your first anniversary (fresh!) as part of the price of their wedding cakes. So we'll be having that if we can find a way to get it from IN to TX!
We ate ours on our 1 month anniversary. All of my friends who saved their cake for their one year talked about how disgusting it was so I figured why not eat it on our 1 month when it won't have gotten that bad yet.
well now I dont feel bad for not eating it on our anniversary but I am a little sad I never thought to eat it at our month anniversary! Our cake was SOOOO yummy! Man, I really wish I had a (fresh) piece right now :) Too bad that bakery is 6 hours away...which reminds me they said they would do our anniversary cake for free! Too bad we moved....:(
Maybe you can ask them NOW if they'll be willing to do it next time you're in town!
@Gerbera: Great idea! We actually became really close with them because we were their first wedding cake! :) They feel like they owe us because we "took a chance on them :D". Maybe I can use that for some free yummy cake :)
So I might be the only one, but we ate ours and it was AMAZING. It tasted basically the same as it did at our wedding. Our cake baker left specific instructions about what to do and my MIL wrapped it up really really well and kept it in her freezer for the year since we didn't have room for it. It was so good!
Happy Anniversary! :)
We're supposed to get a New one layer, small cake for our first year anniversary in exchange for a 10x12 photo of our wedding cake with our baker...any flavor we want.
@starry: cool!
@sarahnyc23: thanks. I have never heard anyone say that. LOL you must have done a great freazing job! I am so curious if our cake is good. I am tempted to tell my mom to open it up and eat it since we cant :)
we didn't really have any cake to save... if we did i wouldn't eat it anyway.
I'm thinking about making a cake for our anniversary to take with us on our second honeymoon as a surprise <3
@Baby_PebbleS: Cake and Surprise...two of my favorite words! I say go for it :)
hahaha :) it would have to be a small one... or maybe even cupcakes mmm yeah cupcakes!! we're not big cake people... and i think a cake would go to waste.
Oh or maybe a nice banana loaf... i know he loves banana loaf <3 OR maybe banana cupcakes oh sooo many ideas LOL
@Baby_PebbleS: lol! go for the banana loaf...it will be easier for travel too! yummy! Have fun!
Our baker gives us a free tiny cake on our anniversary, so we don't plan to save ours at all. And we'll still eat anniversary cake.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Its our year anniversary next week and I am so excited! BUT...I just realized that the top of our cake is at my moms house which is 6 hours away (we lived only 40 minutes away when we got married and did not have room in our freezer). So no eating the top of our cake on our first wedding anniversary :( Oh well, I hear it tastes like crap anyway LOL
So I am just curious, did anyone eat leftover wedding cake on their anniversary?
