First (last) wedding cake!
My son and his wife married last weekend and asked me to make their wedding cake. I’m an ordinary broad. I work in oil and gas and I can’t decorate for s**t. The work. That went into. This cake. My whole family stayed together in a giant short-term rental. By the end of the weekend we all understood why wedding cakes cost what they do. I cried about 6 times trying to get it smooth and level. Then I cried at the venue when I set the top two layers onto the bottom two layers and it stood proud. Lawd hammercy. Hats off to the pros!

So…. Let me get this straight… so you’re telling me you are NOT a professional baker. (Insert bombastic side eye) alright well that’s insane. What a great looking cake. I can’t even.

Congrats! Fantastic job!
Now you have first-hand knowledge of why my hackles go up when people accuse bakers of unnecessarily raising prices for wedding cakes – they are a beast unto themselves, and making them deserves compensation!
