Year Old Cake

Weddings have many traditions. You know the bride has something new, old, borrowed and blue. Then you have the first dance between bride and groom while everyone stares, the cutting/smashing of the wedding cake and the toasts where you try to do the weird intertwined arm thing while the photographer gets the "must take" photos. So all of this happens on the day of the wedding, but there is also the lovely tradition of freezing the top layer of the wedding cake to eat on your 1st year anniversary. So like many newlyweds, ours also got wrapped, frozen and stored for the year period. Due to the cake being at my parent's house we were unable to cut into our year old frozen cake until about a week after our anniversary. So unthaw and unwrap we did. And there laid the top layer of our cake, but slightly squashed, like I remembered from our wedding day. So we cut into it excited to relive our wedding day experience. After a bite it was quickly decided that our year old cake would have its ending in our trash can. Needless to say that I don't think I will be freezing cake for a long period of time anytime soon. It wasn't horrible but it was pretty dry and you needed a drink to wash down each bite.
