It might seem scary to make a homemade wedding cake, but it is not as hard as many people might think it is.
By making a homemade cake for your wedding or as a present for someone else you can save a lot of money, you can make the cake more personalized and also taste better.
If you have made cakes before, it's great: making a wedding cake is not so much different than making other cakes, it is only a little bit fancier, bigger and it has more layers.
If you never made cakes before then ask a member of the family for help. Surely you have a mother, a grandma, an aunt or a godmother that can bake cakes. You can ask for advice and tips, take notes and then make the cake alone.
Before you make the wedding cake, practice on smaller ones, just to make sure that the recipe is right, and it is always good to have a little practice anyway! It is also a good idea to make some notes while you bake that will be useful later. After you've found the best recipe, you can start planning how the cake will look.
Draw a sketch of the cake and decide whether you will make simple tires one on top of each other, or something more complicated. I advice you to bake a simple round cake with layers, because it is easy to make and it looks very good after you decorate it.
Before you begin to make your masterpiece, go out shopping and make sure you have enough supplies and ingredients and also write down what you need for decorating the cake. Decorations are almost as important as the cake itself. Use icing sugar for decoration, chocolate, marzipan figurines and flowers, and anything else that comes to your mind.
