Every time I watch shows like Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, Amazing Cakes and all the other cake shows on TLC, Food Network and WeTV it makes my mouth water. If those cakes taste even half as good and they look – – boy oh boy! But those works of art do come with a hefty price tag. A multi-tiered creation can run easily run you into the hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Stacked sheet cake from Martha Stewart Weddings
Martha Stewart provides a beautiful solution for us shallow pocketed brides. Buy a few sheet cakes in whatever size and shape you like, and stack them yourself. Use standard cake dowels, available at baking-supply stores, to keep the layers from collapsing, then decorate with thick chocolate shavings or fresh fruits and flowers. You can get great tasting cakes from Whole Foods Market, or a local bakery. For that faux – customized effect, get each layer in a different flavor. If you want to go with sugar flowers check out Wholesale Sugar Flowers (www.discountsugarflowers.com). They have great cake kits and embellishment for your cake.
