    Just wondering.  I actually didn't save mine because we would of had to take our cake on a plane from PA to our home in Seattle.  I'm going home for Christmas so I plan to buy a fresh cake from the bakery for our 1 year-ish anniversary.

    We don't have ours because we had to move across the country.  My husband doesn't really like cake much though.

    We ate ours on our 1 month anniversary.  I figured that there was no way it would make it for a year and still taste good.  We also have a small freezer, so I don't know if we would have had room for all that time.  I am thinking I might make a small replica of the cake (white cake with raspberry filling and white chocolate buttercream) because I love to bake.

    We're saving ours, but we're not sure if we will eat it at the 1 month of 1 year anniversary yet.

    We did! Our 1-yr. anniversary was a month ago, and it still tasted just as amazing as it did on our wedding day. =)

    Our baker gave us very specific instructions on how to wrap/store/freeze the top tier. So it stayed extremely fresh and moist!

    I already ate mine....the day after the wedding, haha. We didn't freeze it. The idea of cake frozen for 12 months makes me want to vomit. I'd rather go buy a brand NEW cake, same flavor, etc (which i'll probably do) and eat it FRESH. I froze a cake once for like, 2 months and it was dry and crusty and had a weird freezer taste. I wrapped it real good, too--two layers, cellophane AND aluminum foil.

    Mmmmm cake. Our wedding cake was so good! But, DH didn't like the marzipan because it had almond flavoring. So i may opt for JUST buttercream topping. It was strawberry, yummy.

    Just the thought of eating cake that has been frozen for a year makes me a little sick to my stomach! We're having cupcakes, so we'll probably make it a tradition to go to the bakery we're getting them from and have a cupcake on our anniversary :)

    We are saving ours!  My cake lady has a "sure fire" method of freezing it, so it tastes great after a year... the hardest part is finding room in our freezer for it!  Maybe my mom will keep it in her freezer! :)

    Our bakery told us that they never recommend to eat a year old cake, so instead, just call them on your anniversary, and they make you a whole new tier for free in the same flavors. I thought that was really cool!

    We're not freezing ours. Plus, I'm super excited about our cake and will very well eat it all in a few days! Post-wedding 15, here I come!!

    Yuck. Absolutely not. We might go back to the place and get a red velvet cupcake that's not a year old, but that's as far as I'll go.

    We get a coupon to go back to the bakery on our one year anniversary for a fresh cake. I'm glad, because having cake sitting around in my freezer sounds like a recipe for trouble!

    My Fi really, really wants to do this.  His best friend and his wife ate theirs and said it was gross, so I thought my boy would change his mind, but not so much.  He's still as determined as ever!  I'm thinking about either letting him freeze it, having a bite of it on our anniversary, but also buying a fresh cake so we can say we tried it, but then eat cake that doesn't taste like freezer burned grossness, OR trying to convince him to just save a bottle of wine from the wedding and drinking that on our anniversary instead.

    So not saving ours. Neither of us likes the idea of eating cake frozen for a year with meats and everything else in the freezer. Not very appetizing!! We'll just get a ne wone made.

    We didn't save any of ours.  We were so busy dancing and having a good time we didn't put it away.  Well, we did toss my veil over it as if that would somehow be helpful.  :-)  By the time we got back out there in the morning to clean up it was all melty and gross but the pigs still loved it!  I definitely want to go back and get a cake for our anniversary though.  It's from the bakery that we used to get our childhood birthday cakes from.  I'll jump on any excuse to have one of Mary's cakes!

    Yuck!  I love cake, I love the idea behind why people do this... but this grosses me out.  I imagine there are ways to elliminate the freezer burn taste, I just don't know of any them so I'll pass.

    I've done the whole frozen cake thing (only a week) and it just wasn't the same, it wasn't bad, just not the same. Maybe I didn't wrap it the right way. But this made my decision, that we'll just eat the cake that night and then order some the next year.

    We had cupcakes and a small cake on the top tier for cutting. We didn't save any of it because there were only a few cupcakes left at the end of the night. We had a couple in the car with us for the drive the next day, and my family ate the rest.

    I really want too! sort of...I love the idea but then when I start to think about eating an old cake? ew! even if it tastes good, I would just be thinking "stale!!"...

    I am leaning towards eating it on our one MONTH instead...

    We're going to do it!  It's in my parents' freezer.  Of course, after one bite we may not want the rest.  We'll see...

    I like the idea but a friend of mine who did it said it was awful! I like the idea of getting a small cake from the same bakery.

    I'm also hoping that we'll be on vaca for our 1st anniv so hopefully it won't even be an option. :)

    I am not sure if we will, my MIL is making our cake, so I am sure she will make us a new one for our 1yr anniv. I never understood why a couple saves a part of their cake anywho?

    Just a clarification for everyone grossed out....If you properly package and store it, it stays fresh and will taste just the same as the day it was made.

    I guess I am just a sucker for tradition.

    I don't know but reading the responses brings back memories of my cake and I'm getting cravings and getting hungry.  Too bad I can't get a small cake from them because they are in another state.  Will be back home in a few months, may have to get a 8 month  anniversary cake.  lol

    I think this is such a cute tradition... but I am realllllly funny about eating older food, frozen or not!  I think we'll probably have some when we get back from the honeymoon, and that's it :)

    I've heard from some friends that the frozen cake is the best, but quite honestly, I'm thrilled our baker offered us a cake for our one year aniversary!

    We're not, our top layer was too big to save and we decided to just forget it and instead on our first anniversary we plan to buy some fresh cake and pretend, enjoy and celebrate.  It'll be yummier too.

    We saved ours and sealed with the Food Saver. We love the idea of eating our cake a year later.
