Material required
1. Quality plastic bag,
2. A freezer for storing
3. A ribbon for marking.
Procedure
Step 1
Make sure your caterer is well informed about saving the top tier of the cake. In order to keep it in perfect shape and untouched by the excited guests, he will have to make special arrangements.
Step 2
The next step is to remove the sugar flowers from the tier, if any. Since it is not possible to store them for such a long time, it is best to have them removed.
Step 3
Ensure that you freeze the cake well, so that it is hard enough to not stick to the plastic wrapper. No mess will hence be created.
Step 4
Seal the cake in an air tight bag. Moisture and air can reduce the longevity of the saved cake. For packing, use a plastic wrap over an aluminum wrap.
Step 5
Once you are done with the packing, the next step is to mark the cake. This should be done so that it does not get eaten or opened by mistake.
