How to Properly Freeze Wedding Cake
/
Time and time again I hear clients say they don't think wedding cake freezes. However, there is good news for those of you who are uber traditional and really want to save the top layer of your cake - it does. The trick is HOW you prepare it for the freezer. Here is what I suggest (and has worked for me every time I've done it):
(a) It's all about saran wrap. You have to wrap it in almost an entire box. Wrap it over and over and over until the wrap is about 2 inches think. And no...I'm not kidding. This is, in my opinion, the only way to ensure it will stay fresh and freezer-bite free.
(b) After you have wrapped it in as much saran wrap as humanly possible, wrap it in a couple of layers of aluminum foil.
(c) Then put the cake inside a cake box (usually supplied by your baker) and stick it in the back of your freezer (if you have a deep freeze, that is even better).
About two days before your anniversary, take the cake out of the freezer and place it in your refrigerator. It should be thawed (but still cold) by your anniversary.
Bon appetit!
