My First Wedding Cake

Big Responsibility Traveling With A Wedding Cake

The responsibility of making a couple's wedding cake is one thing, but traveling 1063 miles with 10 layers of cake and 50 cupcakes in tow, adds an even greater element of importance.

From Texas To Georgia!

A few months ago my friends asked me to make their wedding cake.. the catch? I live in Texas and the wedding would be in Georgia. Honored, I said yes, and decided the logistics of it all would come in time. Oh, and this was my first time making a wedding cake.

After some good advice (thanks Lorelie!) here is the original post called traveling far far away with a cake. I made all the cake in advance and froze it until it was time. Packed neatly in homemade boxes, the 10 layers of cake traveled coach for their 5 hour trip. Once in GA, I made all the icing and decorated the cake at the reception hall the day before.

Suprisingly Calm For My First Wedding Cake

I thought I was going to be nervous, but as soon as I got into the kitchen everything just came together. I had an amazing time decorating and loved the feeling of being a part of someone's special day. I can't wait to make another!
