First Wedding Cakes

Okay, I'm just going to post a few pictures of my first two wedding cakes.

This first one was for a neighbor. She had just moved in and since she didn't know anyone in the area and had virtually no funds to have a wedding celebration, the neighborhood came together to help her out. I knew my sister had talked about having me do her wedding cake so I volunteered to make this cake for practice.



It was nice not to have a lot of pressure and high expectations for my first one, a fondant, 2 tiered, square cake. ($80-85)



The next cake was for my sister Sarah's wedding, and she did have VERY high expectations. The cake had to fit in perfectly with the rest of Sarah's decorations, which were beautiful (check out her blog at theblushingbloom.blogspot.com, her wedding is in the first post)


Sarah found a cake on Pinterest similar to what she wanted:


 Based on the picture, this is what we came up with:


 She loved it. For a three tier fondant cake like this, it would usually cost $250-$300. Needless to say, I this was her wedding present from me, but it was a lot of fun to make.
