This is why I DON'T do wedding cakes...
Uploaded By: Kim_in_CajunCountry

Offered to make a cake for my brother's wedding. 2nd marriage for both so it's an informal affair with a western theme. I did explain to his fiance that I have never stacked a cake. She said no problem. Wedding is tomorrow morning at 11:00. This is a leaning, bulging cake that I'm almost ashamed to bring to the event. I hope she doesn't cry. Oh, and I'm the wedding photographer, too! And I DON'T do wedding photography. LOL!!!

Forgot to mention the vital statistics: 12", 10", 8" WASC using DH white mix. Red raspberry filling. Buttercream flavored with vanilla and almond emulsion. Fondant appliques, except for the oval piece for the buckle. It's gumpaste. The base is a precut, unfinished pine table round from Lowe's. (no it's not coming in direct contact with the cake). I hot glued sisal rope around the base then rubbed a light coat of mineral oil on the wood so that any other greasy residue from icing, etc. wouldn't cre...

It sounds delicious and actually looks pretty good. Very Happy

I bet they'll be happy. I've noticed that lots of times I think a cake looks fine, then I take a photo and I'm mortified. I can see every little imperfection and I think the person will be crying, but they're always happy. Smile

I love the belt, buckle and pearls here. You did fine!

Well, the cake split on the way to wedding. Added some rows of pearls to cover it up. I'm going to replace my original CC photo with a before and after. I told everyone that it takes a lot of talent to make a cake that splits symmetrically. Very Happy
