Past and future wedding cake
On Saturday, Denny and I stopped by our beloved Deluxe Bakery to order our anniversary cake. You see, when we were in negotiations for our wedding cake, the owner told us not to save the top layer and freeze it as per tradition, for eating on the first anniversary. She said she doesn’t want anyone eating her cake after it’s been in the freezer for a year, because the quality would have degraded and it would besmirch her baking reputation. Instead, she said to come in around our first anniversary and they’d give us a free mini cake.
We’re picking it up on Friday. Our actual anniversary is Sunday, but since I have to leave that morning for Canada, we decided to make a Friday-and-Saturday of it.
Our wedding cake was so beautiful and delicious. Â I can’t wait to have another taste.
I don’t even want to do an archive check, because I was probably wigging out. I don’t think I got too stressed out about the wedding, compared to some other people I’ve seen (albeit mostly on television, where the lowest common denominator gets the most screentime), but I’m still glad I don’t have to do it again.
What are you going to get? We barely got a chance to eat any of our wedding cake, so we are definitely looking forward to the 1 year bonus cake!
We’re just getting chocolate (and by “just” I mean “the most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever had). Our cake was both chocolate and almond-apricot, but when we were ordering it on Saturday, chocolate sounded better.
I’m not sure whether they’re going to go to any pains to decorate it like our cake; I don’t really care either way, I just want to eat it.
I was very happy when I found out that Deluxe was doing your wedding cake too, because it meant I got to eat more of it. Of course, the one at your shower from Dubuque was pretty great, too. I hope we’re still friends enough with Tim next summer that we’ll get invited to his wedding and get to eat more cake from that bakery.
That is such a great idea! I wish every bakery would do that. James and I DID try to eat the frozen top layer on our 1 year anniversary. One bite and the whole thing went in the trash.
My wife and just celebrated our 1st anniversary, and did not have that same baker-deal, so i have been blogging about how it turned out for us, i think you’d find it fun.
i loved our wedding cake and i’m glad you liked yours too…there’s nothing worse than a bad wedding cake…they’re too expensive and 1-timey to be bad.
i agree…would not want to do the whole wedding part again…very memorable, but also stressful for sure.

Cheryl, Mike and I are in San Diego enjoying the weather along with your amazingly good wedding photos-better then the average to be sure.
Tell Dennis I liked the one in the pipe the best!
