This is my first wedding cake, and I must say I'm not completely happy with it. I could not get the buttercream edges completely smooth to save my life, and it really does affect the outcome of the cake. I do pretty well with fondant, and though I'm tempted to only work in that medium, I know I have to get better at buttercream. This cake is for a friend who's on a super-tight budget, and I really hope she likes it.
