Transporting the anniversary layer of cake??

[lmkoons]

Our wedding is now 76 days away and I keep thinking of all these crazy last-minute questions. Hopefully, someone can help me. How on earth do we store our anniversary layer while at CBR....and how do we get it home without ruining it??? DF and I will be making the 16 hour drive home to PA, while our parents will be taking a plane. Which way would be safer for the cake? I'm concerned that, if not kept frozen, it will be completely inedible by the time our 1 year anniversary rolls around!

I have no idea, that's why we ate ours in a week

If you don't have a fridge then I don't know how you will keep it fresh in your room. You'll have to rent one.

I don't even know if you can bring it on the plane, so I would look into that first. Who knows if the mousse or whatever will be considered a liquid or gel or whatever.

I would just take it with you for the drive home. Buy some tupperware, a styrofoam cooler, and ice from Walmart before you leave and keep it fresh that way.

I would never want to eat a year old cake anyway. Not having an anniversary layer is a good excuse to go back to Disney for the anniversary and ordering a smaller sized replica of your cake

I agree, enjoy it now, get another a year later!

From my experience, if you keep it in the room, be very careful and mark it well. Our top layer was thrown away the day after our wedding, and we were at a deluxe resort.

Take a few pictures of it...then eat it before you go home. When your anniversary rolls around, have a bakery make another one fresh.

Seriously...year-old cake that has been frozen tastes as bad (or worse) than it looks. We opened ours up, took one look, and into the trash it went. We regretted not eating it when it was still fresh.

absoultely divine advice

We have the same problem! We have a villa so there will be a fridge, but we really don't want to bring home a whole layer of cake on the plane. We decided to get the white chocolate castle topper, and bring that home instead. I read somewhere that often people will melt the chocolate to fondue and have that on their anniversary.

We are bring a few lunch size coolers and a chill bag to bring it home in!

I have to agree with this! We triple-wrapped our top layer (saran wrap then foil then put the whole thing in a giant ziploc) and it looked horrible when we unwrapped it on our first anniversary (as I expected being squished with all that wrapping--it was a buttercream cake, no fondant) but I didn't realize that it would also taste nasty to me (although DH ate a huge slice ). I had one bite and tossed it.

We stored it in the fridge in the room. My parents then took it with them on the plane in its own carry on bag. when they got home they wrapped it in saran wrap, foil, then put it in the freezer, but a few weeks later when we were over visiting, we decided to dig into it! We decided we didnt want to let it go stale in a year and then have to throw it away. IT was still as yummy as our wedding day . Dont regret it at all! We'll either go have a cake made, or bake one ourselves and enjoy it on our 1 year anny.

I think it's unanimous that keeping it frozen for a year is a pretty bad idea that never turns out well. Eat it...you'll want to anyway. Then order a replica for your anniversary.

Ours was wrapped in like three layers of saran wrap and foil! We had it in our room refrigerator until we left and transported it home in a cooler but we only live like 3 hours away too!! Having said that, we aren't waiting a year to eat it and my DH got into it last night already! Heres what it looked like when I got it unwrapped:
