DIY Wedding Cake Techniques

In my continous quest to helping brides to save money, I decided to find easy yet classy looking frosting techniques for those who have opted to make their own cake or considering it. These techniques look so simple even a bridezilla can do it:) Kidding about the bridezilla part:) After getting quotes from many caterers or bakers, you will find that making your own cake would be cheaper. This would be a big savings in your budget. To save on your wedding cake and save yourself a headache, have a couple practice rounds with someone who you would trust to make your cake. I know this is nerve recking but with the techniques I have found, you won't need Ace of Cakes to make your cake...even though that would be nice:) Let me know what's your favorite technique.

Can you guess what is needed to create the technique on the cake above?....A spoon. I couldn't believe it. How clever is this?

As mention on Sweetapolita, there is a Youtube tutorial that shows you how to frost a cake using the ruffled technique. This looks so cool.

Wow...does this not look fake? Well, it isn't. This cake is perfect using an upside down technique. Make sure you have a couple practice rounds before making your final product. I'm still amazed at the perfection..good thing i'm not showing you the tutorial...I would mess this up for sure.
