Who is doing your wedding cake?
Well I’ve been meaning to talk to bakeries, but … Why? Would you like to make it?
I was thinking about it this morning and well yes, I’d like to if you don’t have a bakery lined up.
That would be lovely.
It will be our wedding gift to you.
Nathan’s brother and his girlfriend are getting married in three months and I just offered to bake and decorate their wedding cake for them.
I’ve got three months to decide on flavours with the bride, bake and freeze 3 tiers of cake, source some cake boards, boxes and dowel, perfect my (already pretty good) buttercream recipe and go insane making sure everything is perfect.
Not to mention all the cake recipe testing I will be doing in the meantime.
Plenty of time.
It’s going to be insane.
It’s going to be great fun.
I will be referring to this set of posts as often as I can (every day), paying lots of attention to the comments here.
Not to mention, I will be photographing everything as I go and posting updates, that is, if you’re interested.

Oh we’re interested. 🙂
I like your pics on the sidebar! I would *love* to see the cake in progress. You have lots of time! :]
definitely interested!
Sounds like a great challenge and distraction for you 🙂
I would love to see how you do it and follow the adventure online. Its ambitious but I have no doubt that you will succeed, its just a matter of prior planning which is not easy with kids under feet!
Oooh yes please. Lots of pictures. Will your little apprentice be helping you out? Just had a quick check of the links too, very interesting, will have to go back for a longer read later 😉
Go you. I’m sure you’ll do an awesome job. How fun!
Three months is lots of time? HAHA! That’s what you think. with all the practising and taste testing, that three months will be whittled down to nothing in no time at all. But I’m sure that the cake will be amazing and yes we do want progress photos. Lots of them. Especially of Amy and Isaac tasting….
Gee! You’re mighty brave – and YES, we’re very interested!! Happy planning – looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Only “a little” insane???
You’re mad, but we likes ya 😉
Mmmmmm. Buttercream …. yum. And I am willing to be the cake will be, as well.
Oh wow, sounds like you’re going to be busy! 🙂
You revamped the place. Looks great. Can’t wait for the cake pictures.
this project is just what you need.
Oooh cannot wait to follow this new adventure of yours. I’m sure the outcome will be perfect!
I can’t wait! And the Smitten Kitchen site was exactly what I would have recommended.
Bake a woolly jumper into it. That’d surprise ’em.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be so excited!
keep updating, I love wedding cakes!
Are you kidding? I love to see creativity in OTHER people. Wedding cake!!!! You go girl.
Good luck! My partner just decided she was going to make a digger cake for our son’s second birthday. I chortled a bit, but then thought ‘why the hell not’?
Insane?
No
Cool?
Yes.
Definitely yes.
Love the new layout. Am appalling at cake making so would absolutely love to see the pics. By the way you have stolen my hand I think!
What a fabulous gift to the bride and groom! I look forward to updates (and who knows, maybe I’ll pick up some tips as well–I love baking).
Good for you. I definitely want to see lots of progress reports – and recipes for things that work too!
awesome
please keep us updated
