Can I show you what’s going on in my kitchen these days?
So far it’s just a bunch of lists (lots of lists) and empty cake pans. Somehow… by Saturday it’ll all be a pretty pretty wedding cake.
I don’t make wedding cakes very often.
They stress me out.
They mean stacking cake on top of other cake and then driving in a car. Seriously scary.
I have nightmares about the cake for an entire week leading up to the wedding. Nightmares like… oops I forgot to make the cake! Nightmares like… oops I forgot to wear pants to this wedding. It’s just what happens.
What helps the nightmares go away? Wilton. They have answers.
The best part of this wedding cake situation? I get to go to the wedding and see my friends Zach and Nicole say important things to each other. Then there’s wine. Then there’s dinner. Then there’s dancing. Then…. then!!? Cake. I get to make a cake and eat it too.
Oh! And since I’m in wedding cake mode… we’re all in wedding cake mode. Everyday from now until Saturday this place is going to be all wedding cake, all the time. Prepare.

So, no pressure or anything, but once you’ve nailed that wedding cake, you should totally enter this competition:

Threadless t-shirt designs, in cake form. Some of the winners from last year are beyond amazing!
Good luck with the wedding cake. I’m sure it will go amazingly. Careful with your choice of frosting if it’s going to be warm!

I’ve always wanted to make a wedding cake for someone. It’s been on my life list for quite some time.

Here it is. But it probably costs a fortune.

Have you seen the clear plastic wedding cake carrier with a rod that goes down the center? It’s amazing and now I can’t find the web site. The demo is on youtube.

You must get this a lot but your handwriting is so very pretty!
I’d hire you for wedding calligraphy in a hot-second.
Good luck with the cake, I know it’ll be tasty AND beautiful.

Can’t wait to see the finished result! The idea of a wedding cake terrifies me, but I’m sure yours will be amazing!

Holy Batman! Just thinking about a klutz like me attempting something like this someday makes me nervous. I am sure you will rock it though. Can’t wait to see it unfold :)

There is something truly magical and special about wedding cake. I think it is all the sugar and all the love that is in the room. Eat some of that wedding cake and make a wish – all your dreams will come true!
Sarah
Your handwriting is absurdly adorable.

Yes! Love this! I’m thinking of (gasp) making my own wedding cake. It would be my only DIY project and we’d be staying at the site where we’re getting hitched, so transport wouldn’t be an issue. The major issue right now is convincing my mom that I’m not completely insane :-). xoxo good luck with the cake, would love to see the recipes!

I have those nightmares all the time. I do wedding cakes for people all the time. Even have one coming up next weekend. And I have night terrors about dropping it as I’m setting it up at the reception. Or it melting. Or somebody sticking their finger in it. Everything runs thru my head and I can’t breathe until the cake is delivered and I can walk away. I apologize if this adds any extra stress. I just really feel your pain.
