I am quite tempted to try and make my own wedding cake - and ice it! I have been looking at this recipe on bbcgoodfood, and think it seems doable. I am relatively confident about the cake-making process - I make cakes quite frequently, but not iced ones.
Has anyone else done this?: : http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4578/creating-your-wedding-cake
I have never iced cakes though, and not sure how difficult it would be? Any tips/words of warning? I would be happy with a plain cake decorated with fresh flowers. What do people think? Is it much harder than it looks? What are the pitfalls?
The hitch would be that I will be effectively homeless in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My partner lives abroad, and i will be packing up our stuff in the uk, and giving up the flat a couple of weeks before the wedding so I will have a nomadic couple of weeks drifting between friends and my parents, therefore I won't have my own kitchen. It is much easier to cook in my own space with my own oven/food mixer/tins etc. Do you think it is worth it? Or should i give it up as too much stress?
