Do you have to go to college to become a wedding cake designer?

No, while a degree plan in Pastry Arts does exist, a formal education in this profession is not required in either the US or the UK. If you plan to open your own shop someday, having a degree may lend credability to your business, but there are numerous successful (even celebrity) cake decorators that were not formally educated in the craft.

Informal classes, available at local community colleges, private instutions or some retail stores, are also available to help you to develop your skills. They are, in fact, a very inexpensive way to try out your liking of the craft before investing thousands of dollars on a degree plan you may, or may not use. Classes are usually small, 10 to 15 participants, and include hands on training of the basic skills in particular areas--cake baking, piping, fondant and gumpaste, and sugar art to name a few. Whether you choose to pursue a career in this area or just make it a hobby, classes are a very enjoyable way to spend a few evenings since they are educational and fun.

How do you save wedding cake?

Some couples choose to do the age-old tradition of freezing the top tier of wedding cake to be eaten on the 1st wedding anniversary. That is what my husband and I chose to do.

1. Remove any plastic or breakable decorations from the cake. If the cake is on a plastic separator plate, it is ready to be wrapped. Otherwise, make sure to use a foil-wrapped cake board. The aluminum foil prevents the taste of cardboard from seeping into the cake.

2. Completely cover the cake with plastic wrap. Make sure to cover it airtight. Place it inside a box. Wrap the box with plastic wrap, then wrap with 2 layers of aluminum foil.

3. Defrost the cake 24 hours before you plan to eat the cake by removing it from the freezer and placing it in the refrigerator. In 2-3 hours, remove all wrapping from the cake and place back in the refrigerator. One hour before you serve it, remove it from the refrigerator.
