Step-by-Step Cake Preservation with video links:

- Freeze the Cake: After the wedding, remove any decorations from the cake and place it in the freezer for a few hours to let the frosting firm up. Top Tier - Prepare the Cake for Preservation (video click to watch)
- Prepare the Oxygen Absorber: Once the frosting is firm, take the cake out of the freezer and remove it from its box. Open the oxygen absorber Top Tier - Get out the Oxygen Absorber from the kit and place it either on top or next to the cake. (The oxygen absorber can be placed directly in contact with food, but wrapping it in plastic wrap is also fine.
- Wrap the Cake: Use several layers of plastic wrap to tightly cover the cake, ensuring the oxygen absorber is enclosed or placed beside it. Top Tier - Wrapping the Cake in plastic
- Prepare the Mylar Bag: Lay out the Mylar bag from the preservation kit and place the wrapped cake in the bag, pushing it toward the bottom corner. You can trim the Mylar to fit, but leave enough room to seal the bag. Top Tier - Ready for Mylar Storage (click the link for video)
- Seal the Mylar Bag: Using your heat sealer Tools to Seal Mylar Bags (click the link for video (like a flat iron, clothing iron on the cotton or linen setting, or the PackFreshUSA Mini-Sealer , seal the bag about 90% of the way. Gently "burp" the bag, by letting out any excess air, then seal it completely. Top Tier - Tips to Seal the Cake into the Top Tier Mylar
- Fold and tape the Mylar: Once sealed, fold the Mylar bag under the cake and wrap it tightly. You can use packing tape to secure it further. (see video above for my cheat in sealing and folding the Mylar)
- Refrigerate: Place your wrapped cake in the refrigerator for 48 hours to allow the oxygen absorber to work. Top Tier - Put the cake in Fridge for 24 - 48 hours (click on link for video)
- Freeze the Cake: After 48 hours, transfer your cake to the freezer, where it will stay for up to a year.

- Defrost: A day or two before your anniversary, move the cake from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw.
- Unwrap and Transfer: After a few hours, open the Mylar bag and unwrap the plastic wrap so it doesn’t stick to the cake. Place the cake in a container with a lid for optimal storage.
- Serve: Allow the cake to come to room temperature about 1-2 hours before you plan to enjoy it.

"This really worked! The cake still tastes amazing. I expected the frosting to be gritty, but it was just as good as the day of our wedding."

"Hadn't planned out how to store the top tier of our wedding cake. On the day after our wedding I started googling and came across this product. Ordered it and ended up storing the cake in it a few days later when it arrived. We just unwrapped our cakes (ordered one for the bride cake and one for the groom cake) and they taste just like they did on our wedding day. Had I not unpackaged the cake myself I wouldn't have believed that it was a year old. This is definitely worth the price and I think I'm going to start giving it as a wedding gift in the future"
