Keep Your Wedding Cake Fresh And Edible For A Year

The tradition of eating the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary is still going strong, but how do you keep it fresh for a year? It's important to properly store and preserve your cake, and there are several ways to do this. You can ask your baker for advice, but generally, you should cover your cake and place it in the freezer overnight. The next day, wrap it in several layers of freezer plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. You can then store it in the freezer for a year.

How to store your wedding cake in the freezer

To store your wedding cake in the freezer, first cover it and place it in the freezer overnight. The next day, wrap your cake in several layers of freezer plastic wrap.

It's important to note that your cake will be stale after a year in the freezer, and it won't taste like fresh cake. However, it's still a fun tradition to experience. If you're planning to eat your cake on your first anniversary, move the cake (still wrapped) from the freezer to the refrigerator 24 hours beforehand. When you're ready to eat it, unwrap the cake and let it get to room temperature.

To avoid defrosting and refrosting, try not to remove the cake from the freezer for a full year. Power outages and surprise job relocations can cause temporary displacement, but you can freeze and defrost the cake more than once if you need to.
