Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving + Black Friday + Cyber Monday! (hopefully you got in some shopping while maximizing your points!) I bought a registry gift for an awesome couple getting married last year from Macy's. I was a little annoyed at Macy's online shopping, because one only qualifies for free shipping at $99 and above. So I figured hey, why not do a little selfish shopping to make free shipping. Well it turns out after finding a few cute pieces, the ENTIRE order would either go to the registry couple or to myself and I would not be able to get a gift receipt for the registry items separate from my purchases. I was rather frustrated since I didn't want to dish out for shipping. Anyway, after speaking to Macy's online chat, they waived the shipping fee for one order. As much as I adore the couple, I don't think they would want my clothes arriving with their registry gifts!
Anyway, on to the point of this post...freezing the top tier of the wedding cake to enjoy 1 year later on your anniversary. Sounds pretty nasty to me. I like fresh cake not frozen 1 year old cake.
This tradition started because brides would hope to have a baby within one year of marriage. The brides would keep their top tier of cake so that they could use it for christening. Couples now keep the cake for sentimental reasons. If you're taking part of this tradition, please research extensively how to keep your cake fresh & freezer-burn-less! (Or just buy a new cake - or what I prefer most - a fruit tart to celebrate!) (Reference)
