share your wedding cake!! - Page 2

If I knew, like I know now--I would have never done a non-edible topper nor asked someone of that caliber to put one on top of the cake.  LOL

Mine is here on my Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=361611777220725&set=a.182181688497069.47292.165857490129489&type=3&theater

I loved it but it was definitely stressful making! The piping on the sides could have been neater...but in all I was very pleased.

It's fairly easy to tell how old some of us are by dating our cakes!!!!!

Here's our cake from 2007:  https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=139613346249&set=a.139487621249.110744.139480956249&type=3&theater

 

I sweet-talked the venue owners into putting the cake on the grand piano, and a few years ago, they put it on their facebook page.   I can't take credit for the cake--I began decorating about 2 years after we were married.  The bottom layer was hummingbird, middle key lime, and the top was irish creme. 

 

As we were cutting the cake, that's when I learned there is a good side and bad side of a cake.  It was 94 degrees outside (yes, the ceremony was outside, but we quickly moved inside for the reception) and the AC was having trouble keeping up in the historic event venue we had rented, so there was a big crack down the back side of the cake.

Here is mine and my wedding is today! Only been making cakes a year and am self taught so although there are flaws I'm fairly happy. Perhaps I should stop reading CC and get moving! Wish me luck!

Oboeplayer you have done a beautiful job.  I hope your wedding goes as beautifully as your cake has.  Have a wonderful day and good luck and my best wishes for the future.
 

This is my wedding cake.  I really wanted a fondant ribbon at each base but the bakery said they could never match my navy.  So I bought a HUGE roll of ribbon and I still have it.  This cake was bought from one of the most prominent bakeries in my city.  The caterar cut the slices to small and I had a ton of cake left over so my husband and I munched on it for a week. 

Here's ours, it was some challenge for me but i'm so pleased i did it..... Not what i would have said whilst making it though!! ...although the absolute hardest thing was deciding on a design to meet expectations!

Here's one we had made for our wedding last year. bottom tier was ice-cream Made by eisdream in Duisburg, Germany.

Oh, and have just joined the forum, so hi everyone,
