My first wedding cake attempt, for my brother's wedding. Bride chose design, and I warned her I had no experience with square cakes or with stencils! I had trouble all around - my scratch white cake would not bake tall enough, and I had to add foam core under the bottom layer to be tall enough for the stencil. The royal icing got too thin when adding black coloring, but would get too gray if I added more sugar, so it was too thin to do accurate stenciling, hence the slightly messy look. It was 90 degrees in my kitchen both days I worked on it, so everything was just a bit harder to work with. In the end, it came out decent, and the bride loved it, and the guests all complimented me on the flavor, so that's good. Oh, the bride's mother placed 3 random pink roses right on top after I set up the cake....they didn't go with the design at all in my opinion!
