cake rehersal

One of my sisters friends asked me to make her wedding cake. I was so flattered that she would think I could do it, that I said yes. I've only made birthday cakes, so I thought I should do some practice before the real thing.

Here is two looks I've come up with. They aren't perfect and may look weird. I got tired of baking cake and wanted to try a few different things.

I like this one. It was super easy. All I had to do was cover with fondant and wrap with a lace ribbon.

For the second look, I thought I would try to replicate this cake from Real Simple Weddings.
As you can see I need a smaller tip and a lot of practice. The bride liked it though and I will try and do it for real in a few weeks. Wish me luck.

  6. If those are your practice cakes than I expect to be seriously blown away by the real thing!
    I made wedding cakes for my two younger sisters. I was really happy with how they turned out but I do remember how stressed I was. It is a lot of pressure to make someones wedding cake.

  7. Just blogging around this morning. I love that beautiful cake. I was never very talented at any type of cake decorating. I even had trouble speading just regular icing, don't really know quite why. But anyway, a beautiful job, and thank you for letting me visit.
