Victorian Lady's Day Dreamer Wedding Cake

by Jeani Dupuis Sharpe
(Knoxville, Tennessee, USA)

This is a cake I entered into a contest this year to benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. It was my first attempt at making books. It was a lot of fun to create, I learned a lot and I felt day dreamy as though I was a bride planning my big day. At least that was the inspirational theme along with the books. Enjoy :)

How did you fair in the competition?

I can see how much work you put into this cake. It is a 'novel' (ok, excuse the pun) cake, and with a lovely romantic theme. I like all the accessories around the cake, too. Nice touches.

Very Unique Wedding cake

Hi Jeani,

Thanks for submitting your unique wedding cake. I wonder if you could tell us more about how you did it. Any special techniques? Do you have a piece of advice that my readers could benefit from?

What an unusual and interesting wedding cake! :)

Thanks and good luck. Let your friends and family know so they can comment and rate your cake.

Fondant Cake

This is my Second Fondant Cake

I would really love to thank you for this treasure and most valuable website. It has really helped me a lot.

I joined a Wilton cake decorating course and we had to make fondant and roses. They taught us how to do the fondant and the roses but they didn't teach us how to make the cake because it's not part of the course.

Your website really helped so much. I made the lemon cake which is the best and the yummiest cake I have ever tasted and I made the carrot cake.

Thank you very much for the information.

Making Sugar Roses is HARD!

by Kate
(London)

For the last couple of months I have been wedding cake and sugar-flower obsessed.

One of my good friends is getting married in a couple of weeks time and knowing just how much very average tasting wedding cakes can cost I offered to make her wedding cake as her wedding gift. She agreed.




N wants a cake to match her bridesmaid's dresses; beautiful vintage style yellow background with pink roses and blue forget me not flowers.



'Sure!' I said. 'No problem!' And then proceeded to realize just how incredibly difficult it is to make a sugar rose!




It is VERY difficult. After literally WEEKS spent practicing, I finally produced something that looks like a rose! After all of the equipment I bought to make these roses I am seriously considering establishing a sideline in cake
making...
