    Is it true that you are supposed to freeze a portion of your wedding cake and eat it on your first anniversary? If not, what do you traditionally do with the cake?

    Question #69598. Asked by cperea. (Aug 11 06 2:25 PM)

    		By tradition, a bride and groom save the top tier of their wedding cake (also known as the Anniversary Tier) to share on the first anniversary of their wedding date. Considered to be good luck contributing to a long life together, it will also give you the unique opportunity to again feel the love and emotions of your wedding day. Partaking of the cake on this date will give you another perfect opportunity to renew your love and commitment to each other.

    		You don't need to freeze it. If it's a traditional fruit cake it should last at least that long. I moved overseas when I got married and my parents brought the top of our wedding cake with them when they came to visit 4 years later. They just cut off all the icing and the cake was fine.

    		Mine got dragged out of storage (spiders and all) five years later for my sons Baptism celebration. It promptly got shoved back in the cupboard, probably still lurking about somewhere...

    		You certainly shouldn't have to freeze it.

    In Ireland it was traditional to keep the top tier for the christening of your first child.

    		I dragged mine 3000 miles back home. Ate it on our first anniversary and it was the best cake I ever ate. Maybe that's why we have had 18 wonderful years...hmmm

    		Just seal it in an airtight container. You might have to re-ice the cake as the icing can turn yellow.

    My mother used to make wonderful wedding cakes for people, very rich and drenched in brandy.

    		How many people did she know that where rich & drenched in brandy? I thought that the top tier is traditionally given to the most succesful divorce lawyer.
