How do you make a wedding cake?

Answer 1

First, decide how many guests the cake will need to feed. It might be easier to make a small cake to, ""cut,"" and a sheet cake to actually feed everyone. Then you need to decide if you want a round or square cake. Second, purchase all needed ingredients and cake pans. I would advise testing out recipes first so you know exactly how the cake will taste. You will also need to purchase some fondant (which should be available at craft stores). Third, bake the layers of the cake in the desired shape and size. Then stack the layers with icing to hold them together. Fourth, put a layer of butter cream icing all around the outside of the cake. Then you'll want to roll our the fondant and put it on top (follow the package directions since each fondant brand will be a little bit different). Fifth, add flowers and or pipe icing designs. Adding store-bought fake flowers will probably be the easiest. Just take the flowers off before you serve the cake to the guests.
