DIY: Mini Fudge Wedding Cakes

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd

I love fudge and I've made it a few times but I've never thought of doing more with it than cutting it into squares. These Mini Fudge Wedding Cakes are so adorable and would make such cute wedding favors. They could be added to a candy or dessert buffet but just packaging them for your guests is also a fab idea. If you are interested in making them...I've posted the recipe below for you!

Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
3 1/2 cups mini marhsmallows, 8 ounces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups coarsely chopped dark or white chocolate, 20 ounces
2 tablespoons sanding sugar

Directions:

Cut three 3-by-18-inch strips waxed paper; line 9-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet, 1 strip along length and 2 along width. Allow strips to hang over sides. Coat with cooking spray; set aside. In medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, salt, butter, cream, and marshmallows. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until most of the butter and the marshmallows are melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Bring to boil; boil, stirring, 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and chocolate; stir until completely smooth. Pour immediately into prepared baking sheet; let cool, 3 to 4 hours.
When fudge is firm enough to work with, use paper to lift fudge onto a cutting board. Using 1-, 1 1/4 -, and 1 1/2-inch round cutters, cut out 14 rounds of each size. Pour sanding sugar into a small, shallow bowl; dip top of each round in sugar. Stack rounds to form 3-layer cakes; let stand until fudge is completely solid, about 1 hour.

Makes 14 cakes!

Delicious & Unique Cake Recipes

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd

For our Caribbean themed wedding we were planning on having tropical flavors for each layer of cupcake tower and one of my favorites was this Easy Pineapple Cake by Catherine Dallas posted on AllRecipes.com.

Here are some of my not-so-typical cake recipes from AllRecipes.com that were given wonderful reviews and that would make great cupcakes for your DIY cupcakes towers.

Remember, don't wait till the day before your wedding to try these or any recipe for the first time. Months before the wedding you can make a batch for dessert every Sunday. I personally love reading all the reviews before trying any of the recipes because sometimes they contain some very good suggestions for those trying it for the first time.

You don't have to have a fancy cupcake or cake flavor to impress your guests because as long as the cake or cupcakes are delicious they won't mind eating it up.

I rememer that my mom made a last minute single layer cake for my brother's wedding using a white cake mix and pineapple marmalade that she added to vanilla frosting for the filling. It was just as delicious as the other four she made from scratch.

Wedding Cakes that the average Bride can make herself to save money.

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd

It's no secret that I am all for brides with a small budget making their own cakes or having a trusted relative to do it for them. I have personally met women who have done it just by watching cake related shows like Ace of Cakes on T.V. on a regular basis. So you can do it too and here are a few to inspire you.
