The tradition of freezing the top tier of the wedding cake to share
on your first anniversary is an old one, but there are several
things to keep in mind when freezing a cake. First, be aware that
the traditional wedding cake was a heavy fruitcake (not the same
kind that we eat in America at Christmas, this kind actually tasted
good). In England, fruitcake is still the traditional type of cake
made for weddings. Fruitcake can easily be frozen and will still
taste good after a year. However, most American wedding cakes
are butter cakes, and therein lies the problem. To successfully
freeze a butter cake takes a little more doing than you might
think. The key is to wrap the cake after it's had some time in the
fridge, then keep wrapping it in a number of layers of plastic and
getting it as airtight as possible. If you choose to freeze the top
tier of a cake that you buy from me I will give you detailed
instructions on how to freeze and defrost the tier.
