My Wedding Cake
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
his is the cake I plan on making for my wedding which should be quite simple since I just basically have to make it, cover it with the fondant, put on each layer, put the columns in, put the plates on till I get the top and the put the flowers around the top of each layer.
This is where to get each of the items I just mentions:
(Be sure to check out the earlier post with how to make a fondant, wedding cake.)
You can find rolled fondant at a Michael's, Walmart in the bride else, but the Satin Ice fondant is the best to use and taste better. You can buy some online at www.fondantsource.com, 5 lbs for $14.29 to cover your cake. The HERE to be linked directly to the satin ice fondant (it taste better).
For me that was picking out the style of cake that I wanted and found one on the internet that I liked. There are over 300 hundred of them at this HERE.
Step 2:
Next I had to figure out where to get the stands and columns that this one used. Click HERE for those that I found below.
It doesn't come assembled, the pieces are sold separately. For 4 plates: 12'', 8'', 6'', and 4'', that's $27.00. The columns are in a set of 12 and the one I'll get cost: $14.
Step 3: Find the decorations:
The ribbon is sold at Walmart for 33cents per yard, and for that cake, it looks like 15 yards to go around the cake and 10 for the bow. So I will probably just buy a 25 yard roll at Walmart, Michael', or a Hancock Fabrics.
The flowers: I will be using some of the velvet roses, that I am buying for my centerpieces from efavormart.com for $34.99 for 168. They look very real. Find the flowers that are pictures below HERE!

Make Your Own Amazing Wedding Cake!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
I am a bridal show junkie
so I've watch many episodes of Amazing Wedding Cakes on WEtv. So
after watching the steps over and over again, I realized that I can
make my own amazing wedding cake too. Look at the two videos below
and you can see that with careful planning, the right tools, which
you can get even at Walmart or Amazon.com, you can do it too.
Step 1.
Bake the cakes in the pans with the shapes you want. Leave to cool.
Step 2.
Add whatever filling you want on the bottom half of each layer. This could be chocolate icing, strawberry jam, custard, vanilla, coconut, whatever you filling you want. You can filling at Micheal's , Walmart or your local baking supply store.
Step 3.
After adding the top layer onto the bottom portion, you should cover it in a butter-cream icing. I will post the recipe and a video in the next post. The video below shows you how to do this step and get a smooth surface for your fondant.
Step 4:
Roll out your fondant. You can find fondant at a Michael's, at Walmart in the bride else, but the Satin Ice fondant is the best to use and taste better. That you can buy online HERE at fondantsource.com.
The video below explains how to cover the cake with fondant.
Step 5:
Put plastic dowels, cut to the height of the cake, in the bottom tier of the cake. Be sure to measure the cake from the side with the dowel and mark it before you cut.
4 pk Plastic Dowels - $2.75
This needs to be done so that the cakes do not sink into each other and stay looking straight and professionally made.
Look at the video below to see how this baker does it.
Step 6:
Add the next tier, put in more dowels and continue until you are done.
Step 7:
Decorate the cake with flowers, ribbons, however you want to to give it that platinum look!
You can find edible flowers etc. to decorate the cake HERE and find velvet roses that look like the real ones HERE at Efavormart.com!
