Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Wedding Cake with Pictures
Wednesday October 5, 2005
We've all seen the awful videos of a beautiful wedding cake suddenly falling to the ground. And thanks to the extraordinary talents of designers like Sylvia Weinstock, there is now a myth circulating that wedding cakes must be elaborately decorated things. For these reasons and more, many amateur bakers shy away from making wedding cakes, but it really is not as hard as it looks. While I wouldn't encourage a bride to add one more (big) thing to her long list of todos, it certainly can be accomplished by a close friend or family member. Here is a step-by-step guide to making a wedding cake, including simple and easy decorating techniques, and how to make it structurally sound so that it won't fall over.

nice instructions. however, you never say what to do w/the cardboard circles… they are never mentioned in the directions. or did i miss something? please advise.
Cardboard is to put each individual layer on, which makes it easier to cut and serve it.
how should you remove the layers for cutting and serving when not using the top layer. should you cut the middle layer while on the cake or remove and then cut to serve?
