Cake

The top tier of our wedding cake is haunting me. I want it. It was good cake. It's been about 8 months since the wedding, and I still love that cake. If I mentioned it to DH, we would go bust it out right now and chow down. But I'm not going to tell him.

Instead, I will tell you. My wedding cake was so effing GOOD that I still want more 8 months after the fact. However, I will be good and wait 4 more months to eat it on our anniversary.

Maybe I can get a mini-cake from the same bakery for Valentine's Day. That would be romantic, huh? I bet I could even find the same champagne we drank at our reception. Ohhhh, yeah. Valentine's Day WIN.

DH is also a hopeless romantic and LOVES food. This plan would be a hit. Thoughts? Comments? Cake?

    I think that is a great idea.

    Have the cake say something about 'our first v-day" w/rings on it.

    And the champagne, awesome.  That sounds just, awesome.  I bet your romantic DH would love it.

    What on earth kind of cake was it? I want some.

    I'm having a dozen cupcakes in Caramel Creme Brulee, Red Velvet, and Chocolate Rasberry  delivered for BFs birthday tomorrow. Not as romantic as your idea, but still delicious.

    That's a fantastic idea, Jeana. Mmmmm...cake.

    My friend didn't know about saving the top layer of the cake (I didn't either). The day after her sister's wedding, her mom found her in the kitchen eating cake.
    "You're not supposed to eat that!"
    "Oops."

    Seriously, though. I've learned that things really shouldn't be in the freezer that long. I'm worried your cake won't taste as good after a year in there.

    That's a great idea Jeana!

    Leia - Technically, it all started with cake that could last outside of a freezer and you were to eat it either when your first child was born or first anniversary, whichever came first.

    Awesome, bside.

    Jeana, I think V day is the perfect excuse to get a bit of the same kind of cake while waiting for your first anniversary to roll around.

    That said...you might just eat the frozen bit for V day, and get fresh for your anniversary. I get the sentimentality of eating the actual wedding cake on your anniversary, but...what if it is just not good after a year in the freezer? And then you're like, damn that's disappointing. And you don't want to feel disappointed on your anniversary.

    Just a thought...

    It's honestly the perfect blog to read when you're having a crummy day. I just pick something off of the "Best Of" on the right side and laugh and it makes my day better.

    I actually don't like cake much at all... cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake are the exception!  So this post doesn't tempt me at all.  Nah nah na boo boo!

    I really like ice cream.  A lot.  BF wants to serve an ice cream buffet instead of a cake.  I'm totally down with that idea. 

    Jeana, your idea sounds really cute and I'm sure your DH will love it!

    Bside, can I thank you for giving me the name of that blog??? I've been trying to find it for days - I saw it once or twice, but couldn't remember the name of it, and I was thinking of the demented dog the other day and wanted to read it.  THANK YOU!

    My husband I were just talking about how awesome our wedding cake was last night actually. If I could I would get one made for our 6 month ammiversary this month but it's 3 hours away in Tahoe :(  Ours was soo good as well and we still want more as well ! I think it would be sweet to get a mini cake for V-day. I wish we could break out our slice early haha. We actually did 3 flavors on 3 tiers - we have the top tier obviously saved away but I still crave the white cake with bavarian cream and fresh strawberry filling with buttercream icing..dmamit now I want cake tooo!! Hubby wants to take me to Reno for my bithday so maybe a side trip to the bakery is in order. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who dreams of her wedding cake after the fact :)

    To answer about what kind of cake it is: It's from Gambino's, and it's Almond cake with chocolate-hazelnut filling, I think. The middle layer was raspberry filling (as close to purple as I could get, lol). And, of course, buttercream icing!

    I've been thinking about whether the cake will hold up in the freezer, but they wrapped it for us in plastic wrap, then foil, then put it in a box. I dunno, we'll see. It's sentimental but I don't think I'd be disappointed if it's stale. I'd just go get a replica from the bakery and try again.

    I would kill to have another slice of our wedding cake. It was amazing and tasted just as good when we opened it up on our anniversary. It was wrapped in plastic, foil, paper, and then in a box so it was really stored really well. Mmmmm cake...
