I don’t know how long this tradition has been going on for but I knew that we did not want to miss this one 🙂 After our wedding my mom took the top layer of our cake home to freeze it so we could eat it exactly 1 year later. Thanks Mom! Since we only had that one quick taste at the wedding (the other tradition where you feed each other the cake) we were really looking forward to seeing how it actually tasted, even if it was one year later.
We had gone out to a decadent and delicious and of course over the top anniversary dinner, although skipping dessert, knowing we would have our cake to come home to. So at exactly 12:01 on our anniversary we dug in! It was delicious! If there was ever a reason to dig into a big cake this was the perfect one.
Check out our before and after pictures. The flowers are still on my cake even after the whole year. Preserved in the freezer haha.

okay, i cannot believe that – even with help – you were able to eat an entire cake in one sitting. that just goes against all your other beliefs! (cyberwink, because you know i don’t know how to wink!)
