I delivered my first wedding cake today. I was a nervous wreck last night. I was up till 2:30am. Everything went pretty smooth today, but yesterday was a different story. When I was putting the top layer on the 18" cake it cracked down the center and I had to rebake it. I was pretty pleased with how it came out, which is surprising because I am always very critical of my work. The puff base I made from Earlene's instructions. I love how that came out. I just wanted to share it with all of you.

that is amazing. I cannot imagine what your 20th wedding cake will be if this is your first! I love those bows, did you luster dust them or pearl dust? What type of pattern is on them?

Great job!

Your wedding cake is so beautiful. You should be so very proud. I have Earlene's puff base instructions. Was it time consuming and tedious?

Thanks everyone! I used pearl dust on the bows and I got an impression mat in the clay sculpting products at Micheal's it was a cross type pattern. I used buttercream icing smoothed with a Viva towel. I got the instruction for the puff base off Earlene's website and it wasn't very hard to do. The instructions read more complicated than they actually are. After I got the wood, styrofoam and material I completed it in one evening. Thanks again for all compliments.

I'm new to cake decorating and I've been doing pretty good in my opinion and also in others opinions. I just want you to know that your cakes really inspire me and I wonder how long have you been doing cakes?
