I wish I had an office at work
My cube is next to the phone ladies. They deal in all things phone wired and wireless. And they talk all day long. They were just talking about their wedding cakes they keep in their freezer. One ate one 12th of hers last night with her husband and then put it back in the freezer.
Seriously who does that? And why eat it. So wrong. I once froze a snowball, but I tossed it out a month or so later.
Are they eating a piece each month until their anniversary or divorce?

It’s a really old tradition to eat the top tier of your wedding cake on your first anniversary. For it to last, it has to be frozen. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to bring good luck, or if it has a deeper meaning. http://www.wednet.com/articles/wedding_cakes_how_to_freeze.aspx
Cake isn’t bad when it’s frozen. I’ve had those Peppridge Farm cakes that come frozen. You’re supposed to thaw the cake but, me being impatient as I am, I cut it as soon as the knife can go through without the assist of a hammer.
Come to think of it, my Step-mother is our family cake maker/decorator for events and she always freezes the individual layers a bit to make frosting easier. The cake is less likely to crumble as she’s spreading.
Okay… sorry for the overload of information!
