Preserving the Top Tier of Your Wedding Cake

Sharing a piece of cake on your anniversary is a wonderful idea.....as long as you can't taste the fact that the piece of cake is one year old! Here's some tips on how to keep your top layer as fresh as possible:
~First, don't forget to ask your baker or caterer to set the top tier aside so it doesn't get accidentally served at the reception
~Chill or flash freeze the cake to harden the icing prior to wrapping. Always wrap in plastic wrap since foil will leave your cake with freezer burn.
~Once you get home, seal the cake in an airtight bag, place it in the freezer & label it appropriately (you don't want to mistake it for last weeks leftovers and thaw it out too early).
~Thaw your cake in the fridge the day prior to your anniversary

Another fun option is cutting your top tier into 12 slices and having one each month on a monthly anniversary cycle.......just don't forget to mix in one part cake and one part cardio!!
