Year Old Wedding Cake

You know how on your wedding day everyone tells you to save some of your wedding cake so you can eat it on your one year anniversary, and you just nod your head in agreement because it is tradition and you don't want to be rude and say, " Year old wedding cake? Are you kidding me? How freezer burned is it going to be???" Well, our wedding cake has sat, carefully wrapped with newlywed love and care, in my mom's freezer for exactly 364 days- one day shy of a year.

For the first month, Greg and I would say to ourselves that our cake was going to be so good on our anniversary. Now, Greg and I love our sweets. We carefully chose our cake flavors, our favorite pick being  a yummy chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and heath bar filling. The other flavor was not so important to us but we thought we would be nice and choose a cake that those non-chocolate people would like ( very sensible, right?) This cake was amazing when we had tasted it months before our special day. We were so excited about this cake that we even told our friends, " If you like chocolate, don't eat the white cake because the chocolate one will be served, too" . We had been anticipating this delicious cake for months and finally our day arrived.

Long story short, as it turned out, the chocolate cake was never even cut up and served, as we would find out the next day when we had lots, and  I mean LOTS of chocolate cake sitting at my mom's house. And in the weeks to come, it would come out from our friends that they had waited and waited for this highly talked about chocolate cake only to be disappointed with our second choice, white cake. Who would have known that we talked about this cake so much that people actually waited to have a piece of it!

Today, after waiting a year, the moment had finally come to see if our wedding cake was still edible after being in my mom's freezer. This cake that had caused such excitement and disappointment all in one day was being given a chance for redemption. We had brought champagne down  in order to celebrate our year of being married and to eat our cake. And you know what? Our year old cake was quite delicious. And I am not saying that because I want the wedding cake myth to be true, but it really was yummy cake. So thank you Eddie's Bakery of Fresno, California for exceeding our expectations and providing a little sweetness on our one year wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary my sweet Greg! I look forward to many more years of chocolate cake, champagne and lots and lots of laughs.
