Tips For Freezing The Top Tier Of Your Wedding Cake

These handy tips come from Betty Crocker’s Cookbook-Bride’s Edition. Freezing the top tier of your wedding cake is a wonderful tradition. You can defrost it and share it for dessert on your first anniversary. To make sure your cake is as tasty as it was on your wedding day, use vapor-proof, moisture-proof large freezer bags. Freeze the cake for five to six hours to set the frosting, then wrap it in plastic to seal and double-bag (or even triple-bag) it in large freezer bags. Suck out all the air from the bags using a straw to get a vacuum-tight seal (extra air will leech moisture from your cake). Place the wrapped cake in a bakery box to protect it from being damaged by other goods in the freezer. If your cake had custard filling, freezing it is not recommended because the filling could separate.
