Wedding cake, circa May 2006
How does one year-old wedding cake taste? It’s a little dry, despite having spent the past 365 days in our freezer, but it wasn’t half bad. I only managed a couple of bites Sunday evening when Carrie and I participated in this time-honored marriage tradition. We were just happy that our lovely white cake from May 2006 was still white rather than green or some other unwelcome color.
We didn’t eat much because we had an outstanding dinner at Germantown Cafe, the site of our first official date in April 2004, before heading home to check out the wedding cake. We had a feeling that, though we wanted to try the cake, we might not want a whole lot of it. Instead we somehow topped off the huge portions at the Cafe with a delicious chocolate torte and vanilla ice cream. It was fantastic, but we were rendered semi-conscious by such a huge meal upon leaving the restaurant.
It’s been a fun and challenging and rewarding 12 months, and I can’t believe the time has gone by so quickly. Here’s looking forward to another great year–and another chocolate torte. I seriously doubt the torte will wait until next May, but the anniversary has no choice.

I seem to remember a similar experience with the cake, one or two bites being plenty. The anticipation was most of the fun. Congratulations to you both, on passing the mile marker

Wow, a year - congratulations. Glad the cake was ok, ours was horrible after its experience in our freezer - don’t know who all it met while in there. Glad it has been fun, challenging and rewarding - those will never change.

Thanks, Rand! Ours wouldn’t have lasted much longer, but we still weren’t touching much of it.
I bet you’re right about that part never changing!
