What did you do with your cake? And another question

[sajetto]

Did you save the top even if you had an intimate? Did it fit in the freezer of those mini fridges?



Also, did you like disneys videography in the wedding pavillion if you got married there?

We had no problem with it fitting in the fridge. I would suggest trying to freeze it if you're driving though. The freezers at Disney will not fit it. We used my Mom's house to freeze it before hitting the road. Keep the fondant on from travelling as well. That way, when you get home and get the thing into storage, you can pull the fondant off. It will protect the buttercream while you are travelling so that it doesn't all end up on ine side of the box....

DH and I had an intimate and we saved the top layer and some of the bottom. We kept it cool in the mini fridge-there was no way it would fit in the freezer of the fridge we had and then brought it home on the plane where we froze it at home. Can't wait until July to see if it survived.

For our Intimate the resort (WL) put the top of the cake in their freezer. Our EM gave it to the front desk and when they checked out, we gave it to my in-laws, who put it in a cooler and then home to thier freezer. Hope it holds up o.k. until October!

We had a custom cake and a ton of the bottom layer left over (it was huge!) but, unfortunately, I was not thinking ahead to have it divied up among the guests to take back to their rooms, and we couldn't fit the whole thing in the fridge in our room, it did not hold up out of the fridge and most of it got thrown away the next day It was so yummy too, very disappointing.

Did you save the top even if you had an intimate?

We threw it away. I thought is was the worst cake I ever ate. I can't complain about it enough. It was soggy and tasteless. The frosting was like eating a bucket of lard.

Considering my wedding was obliterated by Hurricane Wilma, postponing my wedding a day and forcing all my guests to cancel, then two days later having a family emergency and having to cut my honeymoon short, I think the fact that the ONLY gripe I had on my whole vacation was the cake is a pretty good testimonial as to how bad it truely was. I was so disappointed in it. I can't believe that I haven't read any other bad reviews.

Anyway, DH and I are going to Disney next weekend to finish our honeymoon. I hope he surprises me with a great wedding cake for two.

I'm tossing mine. I was told by several bakers that no matter how you freeze wedding cake it will taste like foam after being in the freezer for a year. I do hope to go back for our anniversary and order a small wedding cake for two to celebrate.

I froze it and we'll have a "stale cake party" come our anniversary. That's terrible that some people's cake tasted bad - our cake was AMAZING! It was one of the best cakes I've ever had and the guests couldn't stop raving about it.

My sister-in-law's cake tasted better a year later than it did on their wedding day! So, it probably depends on the type of cake and how well it defrosts. I don't care how bad it tastes, though, it's tradition to eat some of the top on your first anniversry

My wedding cake tasted like fish on our 1st anniversary...my husband loves to fish & we had tons in the freezer...we took one bite & both spit it out. YUCK! Better to have a special tiny cake made to celebrate your anniversary. Take pictures into a local bakery & see if they can recreate the design or something. I know it's tradition, but there is no way to keep it tasting good...

We started eating the top layer the night following our wedding. We knew that it wouldn't be very tasty if we waited until our anniversary and that it probably wouldn't taste to good after we returned from our HM either. The cake that we didn't eat the night following our wedding was sent on the 6 hour car ride home with my parents. It held up ok but being that long in a cooler didn't do too hot, nor was the deep freeze. When we returned from our HM we ate the rest, or most of it anyways. The fresh raspberries had a fermented taste that made the mousse and cake taste funny too.

You know its funny we froze our's before we left for home, and when we got to our home in Kansas City, the whole city had been hit by a massive ice storm so that there was no electricity for several days! We ended up having Disney make a small cake for our anniversary the next year and it was wonderful.

We actually served the wedding cake as our dessert as we had already had our guests eat passed hors d'oevres then an appetizer, soup, sorbet and entree and being it was lunchtime we didn't want anyone to be overly tired, afterall there was dancing to be done so we served the wedding cake. We had cake boxes ready and our WC made sure that any cake left over was on the side as people left. To be honest there were only about 15 slices left and our WC had taken 4 slices up to our room for us. We had said that we had wanted a piece from each layer and Paul and I, little piggies we are, had managed a slice each from the bottom and middle layer at the reception but not the top so I thought that that was so sweet that our WC had done this for us, we never asked him to.

So no cake worries for us. I have a friend who had hers put in the V&A fridge/freezer and we still laugh about the fact that it could still be in there nearly 3 years on LOL
