We didn't do this because my bakery said for free on our year anniversary they would remake the top layer of our cake for us. :) Not even sure how you would go about saving a cake for a year & have it still taste good!

we did and it was yummy! i think the key is to get a tight seal on the whole thing. we did seran wrap + foil i think. also, if i would have known about it before we froze it, i would have cut our topper into 12 slices and sealed each of those slices separately and enjoyed a slice each month for a year after our wedding.
@birdofparadise: What a great idea! I may have to look into that!
I've heard sucess and horror stories about this. We opted not to for a few reasons: A - The wedding was in Florida and we live in Cali - shipping the cake? No thanks. B - I wouldn't eat anything that was in our freezer for a year, included things meant to be frozen, so why would I eat cake thats been there for a year?
But that was just our thought process.
We going to do this :) I'm really set on this tradition.

We are going to do this as well. The FI's mother loves the idea of this tradition and I do too as well. Many bakers do offer the fresh anniversary cake ... but I like the idea of having the ACTUAL cake from our wedding day.
I really like the idea of cutting into 12 slices for each month!
P.S. Ask your baker for tips on how to freeze it. They should know the best way. The Fi's mother has frozen cake before and if done correctly once it's thaw it really was as moist as the day of!

Noooooooo. Has anybody had cake that was frozen for even 3 months? it tastes foul I tell ya, no matter how much you wrap and protect it. I plan on taking our leftover wedding cake into the office tomorrow for my coworkers to devour. And I plan on buying a small version of our cake for us on our anniversary.
We intended to do it but we were dying to have some cake. The day of the wedding we couldn't have any so we didn't want to wait and had some on our first month anniversary! It was delicious. We still have a lot left so we'll try to save it for a year. I read plastic wrap is the way to go. Check out this article from TheNest.
We ate the top of our cake on our 1 month anniversary. We wanted to save it, but didn't think it would still taste good a whole year later. Plus, I never actually got to eat any cake at the wedding (I ate the bite when we cut it and then a bite of my cousin's cake. They took the cake at my place away while I was greeting guests!), so I really wanted to try it.
I bake so I'm planning on recreating our wedding cake for us on our 1st anniversary.
I didn't have my heart set on this tradition, and we were moving after the wedding. I didn't want to deal with having to keep the cake frozen during our move, so we are going to have our baker recreate the top tier for our 1st anniversary.

My family ate my top tier!!!! I was so mad! I loved my cake and wanted more! They saved some groom's cake and we ate it a few months after the wedding at Christmastime.
I hear that when you save the top tier, it tastes like you would imagine year-old cake would taste. Which is to say, it's easy for it to be dry and gross.
My husband and I are planning to get a new cake for ourselves on our 1st anniversary instead. I can't wait!
We didn't save te top tier of the cake - it was all eaten up on the day of the wedding!
I actually really love the idea of cutting it up and eating a slice each month after marriage! Mmm. Only problem ... which flavor do you save? Lol.
We had a fake cake and only the top tier was real, so we didn't plan on saving it. But we're planning on ordering one on our one year anniversary from the same local baker. It was delicious and very affordable. I'm still bummed that I never went back to our table to finish my piece. I only got the part we cut. My parents ate all the leftovers themselves--they were gone by the time we got back from our honeymoon!
Cutting it up in 12 slices is such a great idea! Love it - thanks for the tips :)
I would love to do this, but our wedding is across the country from where we currently live. Somehow I think a 6-hour flight home before the cake makes it into the freezer might do it in.
Even if I did do it - I wouldn't eat it - no thanks! I like my food to be fresh!
And it saves money to just buy enough cake for our guests without an extra layer!
we didn't even consider doing this, but I think we'll more than likely buy a cake from the same lady who made all our for our cake buffet to celebrate our 1 year anniversary
We just had our one year anniversary! You can read all about our anniversary and see pictures here.
We thought saving our top tier sounded like a pain and sounded a bit gross. So at our anniversary weekend in San Diego I ordered a mini re-creation of the top tier of our wedding cake (in flavor and color) from the bakery that did our wedding cake and brought it to our anniversary dinner at a downtown restuarant.
It was SUCH a good choice because the cake was amazing and we got to really savor the flavor of it, which we didn't get to do on our wedding day.
We are doing cupcakes from a place that does them all-natural with no preservatives... so I'm not going to risk it- but LOVE the 12 slices idea!
Actually traditionally it's meant to be fruitcake which does taste amazingly awesome after a year. But I am totally planning on doing this - I don't think I'm going to be able to eat cake at the actual wedding so I'm hoping to have some for my anniversary! Although cutting it into 12 slices is an awesome idea!
I saved the top layer from my first marriage. For a year we shifted things around in the freezer because it took up so much space. Our one year anniversary came and we tried to eat it, but it was really bad. That marriage ended up failing and busted the myth for me that eating the top layer on the one year anniversary is good luck.
My new husband and I ordered a very large cake for our wedding this past July. We sent friends & family home with huge slabs of cake and ate cake ourselves for over a week. No cake in my freezer.
We were going to do this, but we changed our minds because we wanted more freezer space! Haha!
Our plan is to eat it on our 1 year anniversary, but knowing my love for cake, it may not last that long! Plus, I like the idea of getting a new cake for that day!
I've heard it's nasty, according to my sister. lol. But FI desperatly wants to do it, so who am I to tell him no, when it's the only thing he has asked for?
We didn't do this. I don't find it attractive ro romantic at all, neither does my husband. I guess its just not our ideal way to remember our wedding.
My husband surprised me on our 1 year anniversary a few weeks ago with a cake that looked just like the top of our wedding cake, but had Happy Anniversary written on top of it. It was such a surprise since I didn't think we would have one, but it only cost about $20 from the bakery and was so much better than a frozen cake would have been!
My hubby put the top of the cake in a box and then when we were packing things up from the reception, he thought it was just food and put it in the back of our friend's truck. It then proceeded to fall out the back of the truck later on during the drive home. He's been pretty mum about the whole thing probably because he doesn't want me to freak out about it. I figured it was somewhat salvageable and maybe someone saved it or it turned into roadkill. I'm still not sure at this point.
That's not like an omen or anything is it?!

How many of you did this? (Or plan to do this?)
I have just always assumed we would. But someone was explaining to me that there are all sorts of tricks to freezing it and keeping it fresh. (Foil, seran wrap, wax paper, etc etc)
What did you do?
