Wedding Cakes

I can't even imagine taking on the challenge of making a wedding cake but you know i love the new ones with the frosting that looks like it just melted over the cake and then a real flower arrangement on top I love that classic look.I envy you talent..maybe you can come to Nova Scotia and make mine for a free trip lol hugs Cheryl

Oh wow thats great. You must have been so proud. I would never attempt that. And it sounds delicious. Hey maybe you can be a cake maker.LOL

No I don't do wedding cakes. But my boyfriends dad pays me to bake cakes on the holidays. and his birthday

Making a wedding cake I would consider to be a very brave thing to do! lol Having in the past attempted to make childrens birthday cakes and some copied from a birthday cake cook book, and the doing it until the early hours of the morning was my biggest achievement! The weather can be a real pain when it comes to the meltdown of things like icing and the wilting of flowers, not fair at all, but it sounds like you had it all worked out and the important thing is the proof in the photos AND the eating. Well done!

Sounds lovely dear. I have never made a wedding cake, but I know how. I was a cake decorator, and learned a lot on the job. Now I make awesome decorated cakes and pies.

I have never made a wedding cake but I have been known to eat one or two.Some of the cakes are just so elaborate they are incredible pieces of art.Other times the cake lasts longer than the marriage does!.

Lemon cake is a pretty good choice, could you share your recipe to me please?i like to bake a cake for my husband birthday nextweek and i think your cake sound delicious.honestly i never did a wedding cake ever before, a small cakes for simple occassion only.i admire your will power do sucha a great job like that.

You're making me very hungry haha. I haven't made a wedding cake but my mom has made many of them. We had a normal white cake with white frosting. My mom didn't make it though.. the chefs at the place we got married did. It was pretty good but very sweet.

I have not done that. I did little individual cakes for a friend's 25th anniversary. Lots of work, a joy to give. The lemon filling sounds good.

That sounds great! I am glad that everyone enjoyed it before it might have became a disaster! LOL :) I have never made a wedding cake, but my Nana has. She did a very good job on it, and it had tiers also. But, we never took it outside! :)

I've never made a wedding cake before. You sound like you are really talented through some of the messages that you post. I bet it looked really good when you finished with it. I hate that it was so hot out there that it started melting.

I suggest that you use plastic tiers with colmns between the layers that will keep it form being so wobbly. Then if you keep the cake in the fridge for a few hours before taking it outsied. It should travel for about an hour and still should work well if kept in an air conditioned room. I used to make alot of wedding cakes but cannot do it now since i had my carpol tunnel surgery

no i have never baked any wedding cake. i m not at all good in baking and that too cakes. for the most i can make, are, Cookies. i love to eat them so i make whatever flavour i prefer that moment and i feel them so easy to do that i make them every week and sometimes twice a week too.

I have made a lot of cakes but not like u.

Sounds yummy! I have created wedding cakes for friends and family but I don't enjoy doing it as much as I used to. I had taken 3 Wilton cake decorating classes, with my sister actually and by the 3rd class I was bored with it. I can do some neat stuff and my teacher was awesome too! I enjoy making the cakes but I think after years and years and years of always being the one that was asked to do the cakes for things I got tired of it or bored with it. I believe most "professionals" actually stiffen up their frostings for the summer days to help create a sturdier cake that won't melt quite as easily. I think I recall my teacher saying that adding a touch of the Wiltons meringue powder to your basic frosting it will give it a bit more hardness and make it a little more durable in hot weather but even the best of them can only stand up to so much heat. Your cake sounds yummy!

i havent made a wedding cake, but one day i would like to, my partner mum i think will make ours when we get married. so we pretty lucky i want a 3 deck one and my bf even wants chocolate cake lol

My mother in law decided that cake making and decorating was something she wanted to learn several years ago so she decided to take classes. She ended up really enjoying it and made wedding cakes for several of my nieces and nephews when they got married. Of course, they got a great deal, she didn't charge them anything. Her cakes are delicious and she does a great job of decorating too! My favorite is her german chocolate cake from scratch. Yummm--now I'm hungry..haha!

My mother in law decided this was something she wanted to learn and took classes. She ended up making wedding cakes for several of my nieces and they all looked professional and beautiful. The kids got a bargain, she didn't charge them and everyone enjoyed the cakes. She does a great job of decorating too! Everyone loves all her cakes. My favorite is german chocolate from scratch. Yummm!

Gosh, it has been over 20 years since I joined the Wilton Cake Decorating Classes. I had fun learning all the nifty techniques. I made many cakes for various people for different occasions. I loved doing different ones for my kids birthdays. They did too! I loved being able to do my sister's and my brother's wedding cakes. They were both so different and so fun to do. One was all white the other was white with cranberry accents. I stopped doing them as my kids got older and time was at a premium but I do have pictures to remind me of the time I was very creative. LOL

I never made when but I used to work in a part time job where I have to deliver them. And I can say that some of them are really heavy. And in the summer was very difficult to do it because of the hot weather. They have all kind of cakes style and taste. And they usually made some nice wedding cakes. You could post some pictures of the wedding cake you made.
