So lovely! You make it so effortless!
I'm making your mint-white chocolate mousse cake for my wedding next month. It's going to be a very small event, so the size is perfect since I eat like a trucker (Don't judge me. :D). I'm replacing the cake with a dense sheet brownie-esque recipe since my love likes it more, but the cake is gorgeous and absolutely delightful. So thanks for the inspiration!
Your tutorials are so fantastic, Heather! You make it look so easy:) Beautiful cake!
So cool! Love the idea of making my own wedding cake…if the day comes 🙂
Awesome!
That looks so beautiful! Makes me wish I had to make a wedding cake!!! Bah!!!
I'm making my own wedding cake tomorrow based on your Neapolitan cake from your book! I'm super excited as you can imagine 🙂
This is an outstanding entry!!! The photo's and details in explanation are excellent as this made a truly wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much! The cake is just absolutely lovely!!
WOW. simply fascinating cake!! 😀
Beautiful cake Heather! I have always wanted to make a wedding cake just to say I did. You make it look so easy, and I know it isn't. Thanks for sharing the step by step process. I understand you divide the cake batter equally between all of the pans but can you tell me about how full they should be? I know different batters rise differently and sometimes I actually have to trim the top off of a cake.
Beautiful!
Well, thi IS well-timed! I've been asked to make a friend's wedding cake in November. It's my first one and I'm a liiitle bit scared. I've been collating ideas on Pintrest, and this one's going on the board because she's after black and white. Beautiful 🙂
Wow, you make making and building a wedding cake look like it's nothing! My goodness! That cake looks beautiful by the way. I would love it at my wedding (if I were getting married that is)
That's really incredible. I'm not getting marries but really want to make my own cake when I do cause I'm so keen on baking. I didn't know it was possible but you really have a comprehensive guide there!
Oh wow this cake is gorgeous!! Going to check the recipe now!
This is totally do-able and would save the bride so much money. Wedding cakes are $200 and UP! Another way to save, you can have them make 3 graduated layers and simply stack and add fresh flowers for tremendous savings! I did wedding work for years and still have it in my blood!
This is seriously one of the most useful posts I've read, amazingly explained and detailed! I've done quite sophisticated cakes myself and I don't think I could explain the steps as clearly. I think you just can't go wrong with your tutorial, thank you soooo much for sharing it!!!
Your tutorials are so fantastic, Heather! You make it look so easy:) Beautiful cake!
Shared this link on our FB page. Some DIY brides might just be up to this challenge!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing 🙂
WOW. simply fascinating cake!! 😀
can you imagine being a DIY bride? they should get a medal if they do that. LOL
gorgeous cake.
(let me know if you still want to do the interview/giveaway). I need a book though and will draft up questions for you. up to you….
This is fantastic, Heather! What a beautiful cake. As always. 🙂
Such a gorgeous and one of a kind wedding cake. I really like it! Also, it's really mouth watering.
That is a gorgeous cake – so simple and striking – my sisters have all asked me to do their wedding cakes, and i have always said no until my baby sister got married and then i was so so nervous about it – wish i had read this before – simple is always more elegant (I think so anyway!)
Thanks!
Such a beautiful and mouth watering wedding cake. Thanks for sharing this post to us. This adds more ideas about wedding cakes.
Hi Heather, I was looking at the instructions, and I just wanted to confirm that the legs on the plastic cake separator plate does not actually go into the big straws that were stuck into the cake right? I bought the Wilton cake plate, but the legs are too big for the large straws.
