Hi all,
I am a keen baker and have done a wedding cake decorating course (4 years ago now!) and have bought a refresher online course and I am seriously considering making our wedding cake. Am I crazy?
I am planning a few trial runs to check my skills are up to scratch and to trial flavours, the wedding is towards the end of October. I have the 10 days before our wedding booked off work so I should have ample time and I can always make the sponge ahead of time and freeze it. The design I want is not complicated and my Mum makes amazing sugar flowers and would be making them for me no matter who makes the cake.
I have not found a local cake maker who's work is up to the standard I would want and my feeling is that if I make the cake and its not quite perfect that is less of an issue than if I pay someone who then delivers a less than perfect cake. But I am also concerned that this may be too much stress for me to take on, I'd love your thoughts on the matter.
