    My wedding cake, back in 1992, was carrot cake with ivory buttercream. Just your standard decorations piped in buttercream with ivory pearl swags. It was new to our area for that time. I wanted fondant but my parents owned a wedding store and their cake decorator couldn't do fondant and they weren't going to pay someone else to make my cake. LOL It was pretty. It had dusty rose and ivory silk flowers around it, and my cake topper was an ivory unicorn in dusty rose roses and ivory silk calla lilies.

    I got married in 1994 right after Martha Stewart's Wedding Book first came out. Back then wedding cakes always tasted terrible and were pretty expensive-$500-700 for a product that tasted like box cake covered in hydrogenated-shortening frosting. I decided to make one of the cakes from Martha's book. I was a pretty adventurous home baker but I had never made a wedding cake.
    I made a 4-layer cake using one of Martha's chocolate cake recipes. The cake was dense and rich and almost looked and felt like a brownie. I used simple syrup to add even more moistness and frosted it with Grand Marnier Swiss Meringue Buttercream. To decorate the cake, I added red raspberries I picked from my mom's garden the morning of the wedding, white chocolate curls and some basic piping. We drove the hour and 15 min to the venue with the air conditioning on high because I had no idea how to transport a cake nor the proper coolers or boxes. It was DELICIOUS so my goal was met. .

      The bottom tier was made up of 6 6" cakes. Half of those were Key Lime, the other half were root beer. The other 3 tiers of the cake were root beer. We did the key lime because my mom doesn't like root beer, but she does like key lime pie, and the key lime cake with cream cheese frosting tasted JUST like the pie.

    • @amesch840

      Sam Antley looks like normal full-fat milk to me. I think most Americans are used to skim milk so normal full-fat milk could seem off to you?

      I think that its possible, but I have used half and half enough that the consistency and color really looks like half and half. Full disclosure, my regular milk purchase would be 2%, so you could be correct on this. I guess it doesn't really matter overall, same effect regardless.

      Sam Antley I always buy full-fat milk and it looks exactly the same as in the video. I can also say that there already is a huge difference in consistency and color between 2% and our regular 3.6% milk. I can't say what half and half looks like (since we don't have that where I live), but then I would give them the benefit of doubt that they would say half and half if it was half and half. But yeah, it definitely isn't fat-reduced :)

      I figured it was full fat 🤷🏻‍♀️ yeah I thought it looked way different from the normal 2% I buy 😂

    Anything covered in either real flowers or candied flowers is ideal

    Our wedding was retro-post-apocalyptic themed. My father came dressed as Elvis, and all of my husband's cousins came as undead women of the 1950s. Our wedding cake was three tiers, black and green. It was also delicious, no worries!

    We had a traditional 4 tier cake covered in white frosting. The cool part was that each layer was a different flavor and had a different filling! We had gold ribbon around each tier and red fondant roses. We also had the words, "As you wish" on the cake as we are huge Princess Bride fans! (We watched that movie on our first date!)
