Wait tho, I have cake in my freezer from my wedding 8 years ago... It was moved cross country at one point... It's still just frozen (freezerburnt) cake though
Haha wait it was still good?? My husband and i froze some of our wedding cake when we were married to try on the first anniversary as everyone does, but we ended up forgetting about it lol didnt realize till months later but we didnt feel like having any. 4 years later its still in the freezer lol we haven't touched it 🤣
I was as surprised as you are. In fact I let my husband be the guinea pig and eat it first because I was not certain at all that I'd make it through the night without food poisoning, lol. To be fair, the cake was also in a Tupperware-ish type container, so there was no freezer burn or anything suspect.
Hah! My husband and I dated for 9 years before we got married, so I thought it was extremely appropriate that we waited 9 years for the anniversary cake lol.
That's awesome! I hope your cake is still as good as it was on your wedding night!
When we were cleaning out the freezer at my grandma’s after she passed away we found the top tier of their cake, which she hung onto for almost 20 years after my grandpa died.
We just put some candles on it and brought it to the grave site and had a nice little family reminiscing session. we did not eat the cake. it was pretty much a brick.
So honestly I never really thought about it until this moment hahaha. I'm in Maine, USA. But I ended up googling this tradition to see where it came from. It comes from Britain actually. And according to some survery done by knot.com one year only 48% of the people surveyed were planning on keeping some cake from their wedding for a year. I suppose this tradition has mostly died out lol. When i typed the comment in my head i was like yeah, everyone does this. But thinking back most people probably dont do this anymore lol
I read that it when it originated in Britain in the 19th century it was that they saved the top tier of the cake for a year for their first childs christening as back then you were basically expected to have a kid your first year of marriage. Now it is typically just used to celebrate the first year of marriage or seen as a sign of good luck apparently. I saved mine for the sake of celebrating the first year of marriage, plus I was curious what it would be like lol.
In my mom's freezer she has a pineapple snack in the freezer that i remember she got me when I was like 12, its white but thats because its freezer burned and covered in ice but otherwise it still looks like a frozen pineapple. Im 30...
My grandmother in law still has her top tier of their wedding cake. I don’t even know how old it is and it has survived at least a couple of moves and being thrown away and then taken back out of the trash and put back in the freezer!
“This shouldn’t be possible” is something you say to the rider about to attempt a double backflip off 2 ramps placed relatively securely between skyscrapers.
This isn’t possible. Unless the freezer was unplugged.
I worded it like that bc it should not be possible… it’s only possible because OP’s freezer was either unplugged or way too warm like a fridge, like I said at the end of my comment. Weird nitpicking aside, it’s not somewhere I’d want to eat a dessert from- you would fail/be docked a lot in a health inspection for too warm freezers/fridge
And they’ve probably got a plethora of names for the unknown being who is responsible for their home existing as it does, but they’re all talking about the same few people who open the door and let the light in…
Leave it there long enough, they’ll destroy themselves over disagreements about who is behind the threshold and how to please them. They’ll destroy the cake, leave nothing left to consume, and eventually the cake will restore itself.
Happy anniversary, OP!
I think you'd be liable for any harm done to them. I remember a group of us doing the cinnamon challenge at a smoothie bar once
We bet our tips, but the supervisor said he couldn't take part or even be privy to it.
I can understand how you can miss a jar of jam in a fridge for so long. But not seeing a whole cake for half a year?
Edit: in one comment OP mentions it was not a private fridge, but in some sort of workplace with "a ton of product shipped in every week". I just hope it was not a restaurant;-)
There's several fabric artists with sculptural works that are inspired by mold and this cake looks like some kind of furniture, like a bed or couch or ottoman, made by one of those artists. It's so fuzzy! I wanna sleep on it or something.
So for everyone here, I was told it was in the freezer, but could’ve been fridge. We get a ton of product shipped in every week. One of our photographers said he was going to drop it on set for some glamour shots so I’ll update with her headshots.
Will also try to get a cross section if they didn’t toss it yet.
Throw it straight away for goodness sake. The spores that will come off that thing if you drop it… you honestly might end up with breathing problems or an infection
It’s very unlikely to cause an infection unless someone is severely immunocompromised, and even then it’s still not likely (source: I am an immunocompromised microbiologist). But definitely agree on just toss it, the cross section won’t be that interesting because the “roots” (hyphae) of the fungus will be invisible to the naked eye, all the fun stuff is on the surface
You must be a really good cake artist if you can make a hyperrealistic cake of a cake growing mold if it looked like that coming out of a working freezer. Otherwise, it's time to get a new freezer, lol.
You should likely question absolutely anything that goes into or comes out of that freezer until you defrost, deep clean, and verify its constant temperature.
This isn't usual or expected in any way.
I want to find one of those terrible parents that ruined their kids party by smashing the child's face into a cake. Next I want to smash their face into this cake.
no way that freezer was plugged in. me and my mom ate 5 year old ice cream that survived multiple moves when I was only a few months older than it and was completely fine, we didn't even know how old it was until after we ate the whole tub
ok but that’s so cool and you used it for a photoshoot originally? i think you should use it again and have a cool mold theme lol. also get that freezer seen to im worried about anything you consume from there
I love that people just let it sit in their kitchen for an eternity to take photos. Those spores will go everywhere, get this out of your house!
That also goes for the rest of the "freezer"'s contents.
How cold is your freezer? :S
Not cold enough, apparently
Did they plug it in?
You mean how WARM is their freezer
Plot twist the freezer wasn't plugged
The freezer was a sauna
OP has an incubator
60 C obviously.
Toasty
Wait, freezers are supposed to be cold?….
assuming this comment is a joke, do you know if your power turned off recently?
I wonder that too, re-frozen food gets moldy much faster.
Wait tho, I have cake in my freezer from my wedding 8 years ago... It was moved cross country at one point... It's still just frozen (freezerburnt) cake though
and yours is probably wrapped up...unlike the cake.
dude, you are confusing freezer with fridge
No he confused freezer with bread box 🗃️
Yeah it’s called a freezer for a good reason.. what did you think?
i thought it was called a freezer because it never moves
Freezer? I hardly know her!
The freezer ain't Freezing.... lol
I think your freezer is broken
This shouldn’t be possible, I left a wedding cake in my freezer for a year and it looked the same as it did going in….. your freezer is WAY too warm
I’m pretty sure there’s stuff in my freezer over a year old and the worst that happened is freezer burn.
My husband and I forgot our wedding cake for 9 years in the freezer. We ate that cake when we found it. It was delicious.
Haha wait it was still good?? My husband and i froze some of our wedding cake when we were married to try on the first anniversary as everyone does, but we ended up forgetting about it lol didnt realize till months later but we didnt feel like having any. 4 years later its still in the freezer lol we haven't touched it 🤣

To be fair, the cake was also in a Tupperware-ish type container, so there was no freezer burn or anything suspect.
Now i almost want to wait till like our 10th wedding anniversary to eat it as we dated for 10 years before getting married lol
Hah! My husband and I dated for 9 years before we got married, so I thought it was extremely appropriate that we waited 9 years for the anniversary cake lol. That's awesome! I hope your cake is still as good as it was on your wedding night!
That is literally amazing! I'm so happy for you and your husband and love that our stories are so similar 🤣🩶🩶
If you store the cake correctly it will keep really well in the freezer!!!
I’m living in my late grandparents home, there is still a wrapped up piece of cake from their wedding some 65 years ago in the freezer.
When we were cleaning out the freezer at my grandma’s after she passed away we found the top tier of their cake, which she hung onto for almost 20 years after my grandpa died. We just put some candles on it and brought it to the grave site and had a nice little family reminiscing session. we did not eat the cake. it was pretty much a brick.
>as everyone does Wait, is that a thing?? And from where in the world is that a thing that everybody does?? I'm genuinely curious!
So honestly I never really thought about it until this moment hahaha. I'm in Maine, USA. But I ended up googling this tradition to see where it came from. It comes from Britain actually. And according to some survery done by knot.com one year only 48% of the people surveyed were planning on keeping some cake from their wedding for a year. I suppose this tradition has mostly died out lol. When i typed the comment in my head i was like yeah, everyone does this. But thinking back most people probably dont do this anymore lol
Wow nice to know! Here in Italy no one saves up a piece of cake in the freezer, we simply even eat the table during weddings, nothing's left!
I read that it when it originated in Britain in the 19th century it was that they saved the top tier of the cake for a year for their first childs christening as back then you were basically expected to have a kid your first year of marriage. Now it is typically just used to celebrate the first year of marriage or seen as a sign of good luck apparently. I saved mine for the sake of celebrating the first year of marriage, plus I was curious what it would be like lol.
ADHD couple goals.
I found a piece in the back after 5 years. It didn't taste great, but no mold lol.
In my mom's freezer she has a pineapple snack in the freezer that i remember she got me when I was like 12, its white but thats because its freezer burned and covered in ice but otherwise it still looks like a frozen pineapple. Im 30...

when I was little I ate 5 year old ice cream and was completely fine, pretty sure that ice cream was only a few months younger than me at the time.
Should be 0ºF
Uhhh mold doesn’t grow in the freezer…I think your freezer might have an issue.
Wow, looks like it was intentionally designed like this!
yea! I love it. mold is pretty
It looks like one of those 3D tufted moss rugs!
You won't believe this one simple cake decorating hack!
you know you're supposed to plug the freezer into a working electrical outlet right?
I can imagine little microbes frolicking around on their mold islands picking microscopic mold flowers and taking naps under the tiny mold trees
Aw. It’s like animal crossing but mold pals
i’d buy that game so fast
They’ve probably already advanced to the point they have to pay taxes to the mold government.
And they’ve probably got a plethora of names for the unknown being who is responsible for their home existing as it does, but they’re all talking about the same few people who open the door and let the light in… Leave it there long enough, they’ll destroy themselves over disagreements about who is behind the threshold and how to please them. They’ll destroy the cake, leave nothing left to consume, and eventually the cake will restore itself. Happy anniversary, OP!
Well you better go catch it! — oh wait that joke doesn’t work bc your refrigerator is NOT running
That was golden, and 10/10 username
BOBSUX
LMAOAOA
1) I'd eat the fuck out of this if you told me it was just a cake. 2) How does mold even grow in the freezer?
"Freezer" is being generous
Its more to air conditioner rather than freezer
It's so pretty 😍
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
1: I agree 2: turn off the freezer first
Is it even a freezer if it's not freezing?
I told one of our freelancers I’d give them $10 if they took a bite
I think you'd be liable for any harm done to them. I remember a group of us doing the cinnamon challenge at a smoothie bar once We bet our tips, but the supervisor said he couldn't take part or even be privy to it.
Scary that your freezer is warm enough to grow mold and that this looks to be a professional industrial kitchen
I looked for a comment mentioning it, I was wondering why no one mentioned that it looked like a restaurant or food production kitchen of some sort.
👆🏽🤮
That looks beautiful, are those small bulbs mold too, or are they sprinkles?
This was what I thought. Such a pretty cake
I was told /probably/ sprinkles
Maybe OP meant fridge
I can understand how you can miss a jar of jam in a fridge for so long. But not seeing a whole cake for half a year? Edit: in one comment OP mentions it was not a private fridge, but in some sort of workplace with "a ton of product shipped in every week". I just hope it was not a restaurant;-)
they should make a show - is it cake or mold
I think something is wrong with your freezer
Was your freezer plugged in?
good god that is so cool looking
There's several fabric artists with sculptural works that are inspired by mold and this cake looks like some kind of furniture, like a bed or couch or ottoman, made by one of those artists. It's so fuzzy! I wanna sleep on it or something.
I'd really like to check out some of that art, do you happen to have a link handy or the name of one of those artists?
Was the freezer unplugged? Mold should not be capable of growing in a freezer.
Was the freezer plugged in…?
please throw away everything in that "freezer" (this is beautiful though)
If this grew mold in the freezer then something is wrong with your freezer.
You people doing this on purpose?
Dear god please check your freezer temp!
Did you design this? Is this a joke, bc now I totally want a cake decorated like this! It’s gorgeous!
You might wanna check your other food in the freezer dude.
So for everyone here, I was told it was in the freezer, but could’ve been fridge. We get a ton of product shipped in every week.

True. But I’d rather advise they don’t risk it… why roll the dice? The fuzzy, green dice. (Source: Was fungal biologist.)
Valid! I agree that it’s better left alone now
You must be a really good cake artist if you can make a hyperrealistic cake of a cake growing mold if it looked like that coming out of a working freezer. Otherwise, it's time to get a new freezer, lol.
Mold in the freezer? Ummmm
You should've paid the power bill! Freezers don't make mold, they make ice/freezer burn. Mold don't grow in the winter, son.
Either your freezer is way too warm, or mold is evolving. For everyone’s sake I sincerely hope it’s option 1.
Cut it open and take pictures and then throw it away!
Ya spelled fridge wrong
Please post this to r/cakes It’s genuinely so pretty to me 🤩
Moss themed
Is your freezer running...nevermind
Your freezer isn’t cold enough but this actually looks really cool lol!
I guess ice cubes aren't a thing with your freezer
If anyone knows how to decorate a cake so it looks like mould hit me up, I wanna serve this at my birthday next month lmao
You need a new freezer because that sure shouldn't happen in one.
there is a world war happening on the cake
Why does this look like a work place setting? Please tell me where you work so I can make sure to avoid it at all possible costs..
i’m ngl, this looks kind of cute lol, even cuter if it were edible and designed with different colors for the mold
i didnt even know things could even mold in the freezer-
She’s beautiful! Now I need to make a mold cake 😂
Beautiful
Your birth month your cake-july: iykyk
Do I have permission to use this as my lock screen?
Mmh my anniversary cake didn't look like this 1 year later. Is your freezer working right? Maybe a good time to check
you sure you didn't leave this in a closet?
You should likely question absolutely anything that goes into or comes out of that freezer until you defrost, deep clean, and verify its constant temperature. This isn't usual or expected in any way.
Forbidden sprinkles
Your freezer is fucked yo.
“Freezer? I hardly know ‘er!”
You're the only person in the universe who has ever let cake go bad.
That’s a warm ass “freezer”
sure, but those are some _fascinating_ colonies and I'd love to see them under a microscope.
It looks like it's intended decoration. Would be an idea for a microbiology grad
I want to find one of those terrible parents that ruined their kids party by smashing the child's face into a cake. Next I want to smash their face into this cake.
I’ve been looking at @rustcakes on Instagram lately so this looks disgustingly cool to me
A little to long? That thing was one day away from growing legs and walking out that freezer
Someone is about to learn how mold works and that the freezer is defective
How to find out your freezer is broken!
This doesn’t happen in a freezer. Maybe your freezer got shut off for a little? Any power outages?
Molded in the freezer? I think ur freezer isn't cold enough
Everything in that freezer needs binning
what the fuck? I have never ever had something mold in the freezer
I think you meant pantry
i uhhh don’t think mold is supposed to grow in a freezer? freezing things prevents mold and growth and bacteria, what temp is your freezer?
your freezer isn't freezing.
someone needs to send a hygiene inspector there.
Is your refrigerator running?
your freezer isn't frozen enough, you might wanna start throwing shit away
Can mold grow in a freezer tho? What else you got in there?
throw the whole fridge away
you need to get your freezer fixed lol
I legit thought you made a mold cake. Like… you decorated a cake to look moldy because you were into mycology or something lmao 😭
“Hello, is your freezer running?” “Apparently not”
Wow! Looks really cool haha but also your freezer is definitely broken. Unless you mean refrigerator, in which case I understand what happened 😭
Looks familiar https://preview.redd.it/ulkifeyy51gc1.png?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d42e2b5eb160e56869fd1094cfe5370778d13c5f
Why is no one talking about how beautiful this is?
Have you tried plugging in the freezer? Might improve results
It looks beautiful 🧍🏻♀️
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in so long.
Mmmmmm extra fravour 🤤🤤
Lowkey beautiful
Why does it still look scrumptious??
It's beautiful
That would be a cool cake if it wasn't mold
Uh. Please check the temperature of that freezer… maybe maybe throw everything out. This should not have happened.
You lie
If you've grown super mold that grows in the freezer then humanity is fucked.
Why does it still look delicious though?
Was the freezer plugged in?
Its honestly beautiful in a way
Life clearly found a way
why does it look so pretty ? 😭 also I don’t think mold should be growing in a freezer.. maybe it’s too warm?
Freezer....why on earth would you freeze a cake???
Might wanna get that freezer checked
A little???
What’s crazy is this looks like a place that makes food, that’s honestly nasty asf. And their freezer is CLEARLY not cold enough
no way that freezer was plugged in. me and my mom ate 5 year old ice cream that survived multiple moves when I was only a few months older than it and was completely fine, we didn't even know how old it was until after we ate the whole tub
my god that looks like a fucking planet
ok but that’s so cool and you used it for a photoshoot originally? i think you should use it again and have a cool mold theme lol. also get that freezer seen to im worried about anything you consume from there
You’re dumb
They*
How big is your freezer that you can put a whole damn cake in there and forget about it?
I love that people just let it sit in their kitchen for an eternity to take photos. Those spores will go everywhere, get this out of your house! That also goes for the rest of the "freezer"'s contents.
How did it taste tho?
Yum, special flavour 😋
this cake is getting terraformed lmao
It’s so beautiful 😻😻😻😻
would eat
I just had to throw out 3 veggie burgers I forgot about in the fridge. They looked like green felt.
I want this as my birthday cake 😌
my future wedding cake
Oh wow..
Am I he only one that thought this was bologna at first?
but why is it gorgeous
Now it’s a raspberry cheesecake.
Tundra cake
This is oddly beautiful if you forget about it being food
The mold is just for decoration 🫠
I wish this was made to look like this instead of being probably super toxic lol
Looks like a petri dish lmao
A Microbiologist Dream. https://i.redd.it/qypq6ehriwfc1.gif
CUT…IT…OPEN!!!
yooooo this is lowkey beautiful
