First on Cake Central

This was my first big wedding cake. I was very nervous setting it up. The pic does not show a lot of the detail unfortunately.

That is what I told my husband (who was not thrilled about helping set them up!) We actually did 5 cakes in the time folks usually allot for one. Thank you for the kind comments.

That's equivilent to doing 5 weddings in my book. Wow, lots of cake! I'd strongly encourage the sheet cakes too, but you did a great job!

There were 350 at the reception, and they only had one 6" cake left! The main cake is 16, 12 and 8 ~ the satellites were (from back to front) 8" with 6" tiered, 10" with 8" stacked, 8" with 6" stacked, and then the 6" in front. There was another 6" hidden behind the one furthest back that they cut into for the pics.

Holy Moly - that's alot of cake. When brides have that many quests I push them towards a very nice wedding cake and then a sheet cake behind the scenes that would be cut and served along with the "official" wedding cake. Much easier for all involved. You did a great job on this!

BJ - I tried to talk the bride into the sheet cakes, but she insisted on this set up, it is what she wanted. She was great to work with - knew EXACTLY how she wanted everything to be. I went home and slept for hours after it was delivered. Thank you for all the nice comments, I really appreciate them.
