Our wedding cake - 1 year later...

I have been meaning to blog about our year old wedding cake experience for a month or so, or really, since May 21st when we celebrated our anniversary! As I mentioned before, my mom baked our wedding cake. She has a small cake business, because she is ultra-talented. Not only does she do a great job decorating, but she also bakes a delicious cake. We decided to go with a small, 2 layer cake, the bottom layer was chocolate and the top layer was coconut. We also had many cupcakes, which were chocolate pound as well!

We always intended to save the top layer of our cake, in the typical wedding tradition. That's mostly why we went with coconut, it's a favourite of both of ours! Anyway, my mom wrapped up the cake in a layer of plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and then a plastic bag, and placed in the freezer of our refrigerator.

So, almost 2 months a go we finally got to take it out and see how it held up! We were pretty excited, not only for the cake, but also to get our freezer space back since we don't have a deep freeze and like to buy meat on sale! Anyhow, I excitedly unwrapped the layers.

We brewed up some coffee, and set up out on our deck. It was a gorgeous day for a cake testing! The layer of fondant was peeled off before eating, to reveal a little layer of buttercream frosting. The final verdict: a little dry, but overall still pretty tasty!! I would say it kept pretty well for an entire year.

We loved taking part in this tradition! And since we didn't remember to feed cake to each other on our actual wedding day, we totes mah goats took this opportunity to create that memory. It was pretty cheesy but also hilarious. And yes, those are definitely bride and groom (Mr. and Mrs.) mugs that our friend gave us as a wedding gift!!!

There you have it! If you're married, did you save your cake too?
