Every girl dreams of her big day. From the dress to the ceremony to the reception… every bride wants the wedding day to be extra special.
I was recently helping out in a beginner’s cake decorating class. Two of the students are young ladies, one recently married and one engaged. While they are practicing how to pipe the frosting, I heard them talking about how easy it is to decorate a cake. They were enjoying their evening together, joking back and forth. The bride-to-be jokingly finally remarked that the whole “wedding cake bought at a bakery” thing was a big scam. This was easy!
Well, it’s certainly not a scam. Bakeries can and do produce some beautiful cakes. BUT if you’re willing to learn a bit about baking and have the desire to make your own cake, it is certainly something you should consider. It is a great way to personalize your wedding day and it should prove to be a great way to stretch your wedding budget.
There are many alternatives available when it comes to making your own wedding cake. One of the more popular Wedding Cake Trends is to serve wedding cupcakes. You can easily make your own cupcakes and freeze them as you go. And talk about easy to transport! A number of cupcakes placed on an attractive cake plate can even double as your centerpiece!
If you’re looking for a more traditional cake, making a layer cake is not beyond the grasp of a home baker. In fact, it is something you should really consider. If you look at some of the cakes you can order, you will find that many just involve a great wedding cake recipe and attractive icing methods. Finding a great recipe is fun and easy. And learning to ice a cake is not nearly as tough as you would think. It just requires the right tools and a proper technique – both of which you can easily learn.
