Oh my.
I'm not really sure I know what to say.
Then she writes that she has real callas on the cake. Callas are classified som poisonous. |

that is one 'amateur' looking cake. I can't imagine a bride being happy with that mess. |

I can see it now. Two days before a bride tries baking a 14, 12, 10 & 8" cake. The first two crack. The second two come out undercooked. Then someone gets a call " I followed these stupid directions". Can I get a wedding cake for tomorrow. LOLOLOL

speechless. I guess you can put a spin on this...think about it. Some decorator decides to put together a "DIY Wedding Cake for Brides", but leaves out all the important stuff like how to smooth out the cake, how to add a dam w/o your filling oozing out, etc and then finally show this God awful looking cake." One look at that heap of cake and icing, any Bridein her right mind will immediately call their nearest bakery as she wouldn't want something that awful looking at her wedding.
Brilliant...what a way to drive business.  |

wow. I don't care how "rustic" your event is, I would never want something to look THAT homemade unless my 9yo did it! |

If I got something like this at my wedding reception, I would CRY!
That is just horrible!
Maybe it's a good thing, for all of those "Why do wedding cakes cost so much" cheapos out there, just send them this link and say, here are directions, you can make it yourself! Hopefully yours will turn out better than theirs did! |

I missed the step between it showing a domed top cake with dowels in it to a more leveled stacked cake.
I'm going to try it that way...the filling, that is...to see if icing will lock in the filling.
With the exception of the flowers being stuck into the cake(I really hate that) and that hideous "monogram"(oof), the cake didn't look bad. |

I like this introduction she gave before the tutorial:
"People who love to cook and bake often dream of cooking their own wedding meal. It seems wrong to pay a caterer so much money when you know how to make delicious and satisfying food. And yet, the last thing you want is to be stressing over an undercooked roast, or hurrying to finish baking the chicken, all while wearing a wedding dress. It's truly best to leave the catering to the pros. And yet, there is one thing you can do yourself. You can bake your own wedding cake."
Especially, "You can bake your own wedding cake" and "It seems wrong to pay a caterer so much money...."
I'm sure that most brides and calm, cool and collected enough to bake their own cake, set it up, and finish decorating it on site, the day of the wedding. It's not like they've got anything else to think about!
My goodness, I'm not even a professional, but I was appalled at some of the directions. |
