    Ref the sponge - they could have even frozen some of it too.

    It sounds like your SIL was over the moon with it anyhow - you must be really chuffed about that.

    I think it depends on how fussy you are over your cakes. It's obviously not going to be as perfect as it was on the wedding day, but in my family, cake is cake and a bit of freezing/defrosting isn't ever going to dampen that!

    Whenever I've frozen cakes, they've not lasted long enough to be able to go off - so I have no idea how long they'd freeze for ;)

    My tip would be though to cut whatever you are freezing into manageable blocks (or even individual slices if possible). Defrosted cakes can be a little goo-ier than usual, but if you are serving it eg. hot with custard (if you are thinking of removing the icing) etc or even cold with cream then it's not going to matter too much imo.

    Store in an airtight container
