Your wedding is the most wonderful day of your life. But let’s face it – we all don’t have the budget to have the wedding of our dreams. One way to make the most of your wedding budget is to bake your own wedding cake. Wedding cakes can cost thousands of dollars, and by making it yourself you can save a lot of money.
Baking your own wedding cake is easy. The most important thing to making your own wedding cake is to practice, practice, practice! The best recipe to use is a modified store-bought cake mix recipe. This recipe is delicious, moist, and is firm enough to work with fondant or icing, and does not taste like it came from a box. Do not use the recipe on the box of cake mix when covering the cake with fondant. Making the cake as directed produces a light and fluffy cake. When used with fondant, the corners of the cake break away and it crumbles under the weight of the fondant.
The modified recipe works best with either icing or fondant. It is made by mixing one box of devil’s food cake mix with one small package of instant chocolate pudding, four eggs, one cup of sour cream, one half cup of vegetable oil, one half cup of water, and two cups of Chocolate Chips. Beat these ingredients for two minutes and pour into a pan that has been greased with shortening. Shortening works best for cake release. You can rent the large, wedding-size cake pans from many cake supply stores. When baking a large cake, the spring form pan works best when removing the cake from the pan. Visit Wilton.com to find batter amounts and cooking times. After you bake your cake, let it cool in the pan for ten minutes before removing it. Let it cool upright. Wait for it to cool completely and then freeze. Decorate with icing, or with fondant. Look for recipes online for homemade marshmallow fondant. It tastes great, is really cheap, and is easy to work with.
However you decorate it, you are sure to be pleased with this delicious, homemade wedding cake.
