Cheesecakes freeze extraordinarily well.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to your first wedding anniversary (it goes fast!) and you\u2019re ready to eat cake. But hold one now. There is a tried and true best method for cake defrosting, so read up.<\/p>\n<p>On your one year wedding anniversary, or whenever you want to eat the cake, let it thaw in the refrigerator for 48 hours and then at room temperature for 2 or 3 hours, unwrapped, otherwise the icing will stick to the wrapping and you\u2019ll pull it all off when removing it. \u00a0I\u2019ve heard that a good trick is to take the cake out the night before you want to defrost it and set a fan on low to blow on the cake lightly, so that it cools slowly and dries, keeping the cake from sweating and dripping (YUK!)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you don\u2019t want to go through all of this trouble, and perhaps get sick from eating spoiled cake, you can ask your baker to make you a new cake for your anniversary, creating a new sort of tradition for yourselves and your family.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10092\" style=\"width: 399px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10092\" alt=\"wedding cake top tradition\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10092\" alt=\"wedding cake top tradition\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/e608a1fa73793252819b46c1f882802b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Source: http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/337488565796436586\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sweet treat tradition or gross waste of time?
