Make your own Wedding Cake

To make your own wedding cake it is really a matter of breaking it down to little manageable steps.

Some tips when you are planning to design your own wedding cake:

• Plan ahead, design your cake and write down your decorating plan.
  
• You can bake and freeze your cakes 1 week ahead of time.


• Make your frosting a few days before. Just make sure you leave your frosting out at room temperature before you're ready to decorate if you keep it in the fridge.
