The week before I'd start making appetizers and freezing them!. Just about any baked goods will freeze well (except meringue), and don't frost the cakes until they're thawed out later !.!.!.!.!.!. Since you're getting married, if you're going to be buying a new refrigerator, get a French door refrigerator!. You can put whole trays of appetizers, sheet cakes, etc!. in there!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
