If you’re getting married anytime soon, here is the best way to preserve a wedding cake to insure that it will make it to your first anniversary celebration. There is no guarantee it will taste as fresh as the day of your wedding but it will look appealing and survive the ordeal.
After you carefully get the top tier of your wedding cake safely home, there are certain methods to preserve it properly. The first step to help preserve your wedding cake the right way is to put it in the refrigerator to chill it. This will prevent the icing from sticking to anything it is wrapped with. Most likely, the frosting will be soft anyway by the time you get it home so its best to chill it first. This will insure that you preserve the wedding cake properly and you lose as little of the icing as possible. If you are leaving immediately for your honeymoon and won’t have time to do it, send it home with a friend who you trust with instructions on what to do.
The best thing to wrap your wedding cake in is Saran Wrap or a similar brand plastic wrap. This will help your wedding cake to be as moist and tasty as it can be when you thaw it out a year later. You should wrap it carefully but not too tightly.
Now you can put your cake in an air tight container or a freezer bag that is big enough. If you scan some local department stores, you may find a freezer container with a good seal to lock out air. Plan ahead so you will know what to do with your cake. You may be able to find specific containers for this purpose at wedding stores in your area or online.
At your one year anniversary, thaw out your wedding cake before you cut it. It may not taste as good as on your wedding day but if you followed these steps, you will have preserved it to the best of your ability. It is more about the tradition than the taste of the cake.
