At first I wanted to get a cake from the bakery. That was before I saw the prices of wedding cakes. I was appalled! No way in heck would I pay 300$ or more for a cake! The fact is that most people don't eat the icing since it's made with fondant. I am not a fan of fondant and neither is Mr Ferret. We enjoy buttercream icing. I asked Mr. Ferret for his thoughts and he had a wild idea: Lets make our own wedding cake!
A lot of people have told me not to go down that route. They say I won't have time or that I'm going to be too stressed out the week of the wedding. I see it as a challenge.
I looked around for cake designs since I never made a fancy cake before and was overwhelmed with what I found online. These were the only ones that I thought could pass for our wedding cake. However, we did not like what we had found.
We wanted something simple and elegant. After searching for about 2 hours non-stop, I found this one.
How long did it take you to find your ideal cake design?

I too thought I could make my own cake since the cake I wanted was 8 dollars a slice! YIKES
But we eventually found a bakery that does specialty cakes for around 20 dollars a cake and will serve 15 people so we ordered 5 of them and a sheet cake. BONUS they make delicious cakes and NO fondant :-)
Wow. Which city are you located in? The only way I could get a cake for 20 dollars would be from the grocery store...
