I am getting married in 8 days. It is amazing how fast this has gone- granted I didn’t want much time between engagement and wedding, and everything is all done- except that I still have to make the wedding cake. This is the only thing that I am feeling at all stressed about, but I figure if it doesn’t work out- I can always run the the grocery store and buy a cake or a lot of cakes- either way- should be fine, right? This definitely has been an eye opening experience since I have now googled how to assemble/decorate a wedding cake and watched lots of videos. For example, I was wondering how in a tiered cake is there frosting underneath the different tiers. Apparently, you put each tier on cardboard and that way it is easy to disassemble and serve. Also, I found out that you need to put supports in the cake so it all stays together. Thank goodness for Amazon.com and there vast amount of baking supplies. As for decorating, well that will just be a morning of creation. In searching for decorating ideas, I came across a website of ridiculous wedding cakes http://www.dumpaday.com/random-pictures/funny-pictures/amazingly-bizarre-wedding-cakes-30-pics/. I don’t think I will model our cake after any of these, but here are a few of my favorites!
Congrats on the wedding. I suppose you may post your “real” cake at some point? Meanwhile these were fun!
