We haven't yet....in April it will be 2.5 years!
We planned on eating it for our 1 year but with DS's allergies I wasn't able to until now. I wonder if it will still be any good?! I think we should celebrate by eating our cake and drinking that bottle of champagne we have been chilling for just as long lol.

I chose 'other' - we had a power outage that lasted for 4 days and the cake was lost. I was so sad about it 
On our anniversary we got a new small cake to celebrate!

We didn't save any, but I made our cake so on our anniversary I just made cupcakes from the same recipe. I'll probably do it again this June for our second anniversary.

We had the top layer and champagne for our first anniversary. It was still yummy! I think our bakery would make a fresh top layer for the anniversary if you wanted to get that, but our frozen one was great.

We have about 10 pieces, so I think we will eat one or two on our 1st anniversary, and go from there!
My gran said she still had a piece from my parents in her freezer (the got married 27 years ago) and she decided to try a bite.. and it was still good! haha

@rachiecakes: Oh no! Whenever the power goes out I always freak out about our cake and my breastmilk going bad! I actually filled our freezer with blankets during Sandy just in case to try and save my freezer stash lol. It ended up not being bad for us but better be safe.

We broke our topper out and snacked on it for a week after we got back from honeymoon. It was sooooo good and I doubt it would have been a year later so no regrets from me

After a grouo of kids finger painted our cake top there was only enough to save two slices & we ate it for our first anniversary.

We saved it but we also moved from South Carolina to Minnesota. By the time we got there, it wasn't good at all anymore so we ended up not eating it and had to throw it away. : (

@adnama: Oh great idea! And good to know your gran's cake was still good! My brother and SIL left theirs in my parents freezer for 7 years but never ate it...my dad did lol and said it was still good!
@Arden: yummy! DH has been dying to eat our cake so my mom got him one for his birthday last year. He isn't a sweets person, but loves this cake (it's key lime).

Yes! The middle was still really good and moist, but the outside of it got a little dry...
If it will upload....here's a picture of the cake right before we are it on our 1 yr anniversary! It still looked beautiful!

I wish it was an option but my FIL ate it...lol!

Would have been nice to save it, but the whole 3 tiers of ours were eaten on our wedding day by guests. I don't even think either DH or I had any!

Yes, it was good. We ate it at midnight because our anniversary is on NYD.

I voted other! Our fridge died when we were out of town, so the cake topper was a goner. DH knew I was disappointed that we didn't have it to have on our 1st anniversary. He surprised me and ordered a new one. We got married 4 hours away, so he drove down and back in one day without me knowing, thought he was just at the office to get it from the baker. He earned major points for that.

@autumnlove: part of ours was fed to a dog by a wedding guest after the reception! haha. people are rude sometimes!

We (meaning I) ate our cake right away. We didn't have enough room in our freezer to keep it for a year.

We didn't have a wedding cake, but I saved a bottle of the wine we served. I couldn't drink it on our first anniversary (original plan) because I was pregnant and we have not gotten around to it yet. I'm betting it tastes like vinegar now! 
I keep thinking we should do "Open That Bottle Night" with it, but OTBN was last week...and the bottle is still on my wine rack!

@autumnlove: oh. my. goodness. Totally could see my FIL doing this (who by the way didn't come to our semi-desitnation wedding!).
@Smurfette: Super sweet! Major points!

Nope! We had a very small cake made by a family member, and none was leftover!

We ate ours on our wedding night. We had a morning wedding and a brunch reception. That evening, after a glorious soak in the biggest bathtub ever and the most delicious room service, we sat on the bed and ate the top of our wedding cake. It was super fun and totally delicious.
I don't think it would have tasted very good after having been frozen for a year anyway. I hate that freezery taste.

We actually had the bakery recreate our top tier for our first anniversary. It would've taken up too much precious freezer space for us to keep the original one.

We had it on our first anniversary and it was gross! The cake itself was edible but the fondant on top was SO sugary and sweet!

@autumnlove: haha oh no!!
I've told DH a million times he cannot eat it. Hopefully he doesn't!

We didnt even have our wedding cake at our wedding, it was completely cut down and the waitstaff didnt save us any... We had 4 different flavors (Chocolate PB, Raspberry Cream, Pina Colada, Bailey's & Cream) in three tiers and a sheet cake so over the course of our first year I ordered cakes for different birthdays in all 4 flavors and saved chunks of each in our freezer. Our originally 1st anniversary plans got sidelined by hurricane Irene so we hung out at our house gorging our selves on left over cake.

No. While the concept is cute, the execution is totally gross. No matter how airtight that container is, I'd never eat something that was in my freezer for a year. Besides, we actually ate the top layer a few days after our wedding for a family members birthday.

I froze it before our honeymoon and then ate it all when we got back. It was soooo tasty! Our baker gives a free anniversary cake, so I got one anyways and it was nice and fresh.

Our cake was in GA and we live in TX. I had a replica made that we ate on our anniversary. We visited GA a few months later and thawed and ate the cake then.

No, we had cupcakes and we had 2 decorative top cupcakes to save and one of our wedding guests ate them which was sort of my fault for not specifying that they were to be saved for us. We had 2 we could have saved though and I just decided not to, honestly the idea didn't really appeal to me.

@KissMeCait: You won't eat anything that's been in your freezer a year?? Man I would have to throw out a lot of our stuff if that was the case for me!
coconut / 8475 posts
we had cupcakes & a huge dessert table instead of a cake...but my sister saved us 3 cupcakes. I thawed them a night before our anniversary but was wayyy too weirded out to eat any. I was about 8w pregnant at the time so I didn't want to risk getting sick.
My little brother and husband ate them though haha. They said they tasted funny.

Part of our wedding cake package was a complimentary cake on our one year anniversary! We didn't save our topper.
We loved our cake so much, though, that we go back to the same bakery every anniversary and re-order a mini cake in our wedding cake flavors to celebrate. Yum, yum!

We have side-by-side fridge so the top tier was taking up major freezer real estate so 1 month after the wedding I ate it (95% me, 5% hubby - ha!). It was still pretty darn good!! Fortunately, the bakery gives all their brides and groom a free top tier cake on their 1st anniversary!

@MrsBrewer: Nope. A year is generally the high end of how long it's recommended to consume frozen food. I prefer to err on the side of caution and will toss things that have been in there for more than 6 months (or less, sometimes). While this stuff may still be safe to eat, the quality will more than likely be long gone.

I had our wedding cake (the cutting cake, not the cupcakes) remade for our first anniversary. It was delicious.
