I'm assuming you plan to freeze the plain cake layers not a fully decorated cake. If so, triple wrap your layers in plastic wrap and then wrap in aluminum foil. Be sure to seal it well. Green peppers and onions are notorious for transferring flavors so be sure to remove any possible offenders.

I've frozen cakes for a couple of months without any trouble.

I agree with Deah. When we get married, our custom is to freeze the top layer for a year and have it on our first anniversary. If you wrap it up the way Deah says, it will be just as fresh the day you had it. Amazing but true.

Really? My sister-in-law wrapped it up so good that I had a hard time getting into it. I can't wait to see your anniversary cake.
