I had posted a year ago on here about baking my own wedding cake. Done!

Rosemary lemon cake.
I designed it entirely based on individual recipes.
Rosemary-lemon flavored cake. Lemon curd. Rosemary infused chantilly. Italian meringue buttercream with a slight note of rosemary and lemon.

A couple of Reddit people (and friends) told me it was a bad idea.
But I can say that With support, organization and training you can achieve it. There is around 10h of work, split on three days. We did not have a wedding planner so yes, it adds stress to stress.
However the immense pleasure to cut and eat your own cake…WORTH IT.
This is a 75 slices cake.

    That looks delicious and beautiful!

    I made my son a cake for his birthday this year and he requested lemon with lemon curd filling and mine didn’t turn out that thick and was a goopy mess (thick enough for crackers or something but not thick enough to withstand the weight of the cake layer). It was still delicious just looked ugly but now I wanna find a better/different curd recipe so I can try that swirl technique you used!

  12. I’m 58 no chance I’m getting married any time soon, but I’ll hire you to make the cake!

    Fucking awesome. Excuse my language, I’m just speaking the truth.

    Genuinely curious, how come people don’t make “wedding cakes” for their birthday? Every single wedding cake is some decadent masterclass of flavor and creative concoction that you never see anywhere else.

    As a society we really need to stop gatekeeping weddings and start normalizing wedding cakes as the status quo. I don’t get invited to enough weddings and I’m missing out on this fabulous cake life
