There is. The top tier is in my parents' freezer. We're going to nab it the next time we're back in town.You forgot to ask if there was any wedding cake left.....
He's not much of a baker. He's made cheesecake before and while it was supposedly good, I'm betting you and I would sink him in a bake-off. He's never made any specialty flavored cheesecakes - that's more my arena - but I've learned he adores cheesecake.Congrats to you, my friend! The pics tell me that you're happy.....and you deserve every happiness.
Now tell me........how is Bryan at making cheesecake?

It's traditional to do that, but I'm not fond of freezer burn. We're going to consume it on New Year's Eve.Aren't you supposed to eat that on your first anniversary? Everyone else (single) is supposed to sleep with a piece of the fresh wedding cake under the pillow to dream of future husband.

Looks like there's a pumpkin cheesecake in our future sometime during the holidays.
Hold on - *you* can make the pumpkin cheesecake and I'll make some other flavored variety and we'll all sign up for Zocor!
I love this idea!!It's traditional to do that, but I'm not fond of freezer burn. We're going to consume it on New Year's Eve.
