From the Inside Flap
"I do not believe in cakes that are made for beauty and ceremony only. I believe they should be eaten—and enjoyed! In fact, the majority of the time my cakes are used as the dessert, as opposed to a symbolic addition."
—Dede Wilson

Let them eat cake—in fact, let them eat your cake. Whether you′re the bride, the groom, or a loving friend or family member who wants to make that special day unforgettable, public television cooking show host Dede Wilson knows that you—yes, you—can bake, frost, assemble, and decorate a spectacular, delicious, and totally unique wedding cake that won′t put your budget over the edge—even if you′ve never mastered anything more complicated than a birthday cake or two. In Wedding Cakes You Can Make, this top–tier expert reveals that all it takes to make that big–day cake is a love of baking and a willingness to plan properly and work patiently.
Whether you′re feeding 20 or 150 people, preparation begins long before you preheat the oven. In this easy–to–follow, hands–on guide, Wilson takes you through the entire process, from the drawing board to the presentation table, sharing time–tested techniques that help you turn that cake of your dreams into a delectable reality.
She helps you get started by having you write a wish list that can be honed into a framework for the ideal cake. Then it′s time to make the cake happen by working through all the practical elements that come into play, such as setting your budget (and sticking to it); choosing the essential flavors (if chocolate is the bride′s passion, don′t leave it out!); considering the wedding date (if it′s October, think about fall colors); accommodating the number of guests (small guest list equals modest–sized cake); keeping in tune with the wedding′s style or mood (beach–casual vs. black tie–formal); and getting organized (time to borrow that decorating turntable).
When it comes to execution, Wilson encourages you to use the highest–quality ingredients and equipment specific to the task, and to gain a foundation by making a six–inch sample cake—an integral step that, much like dating, allows you to try the cake on for size before making the final commitment. She shares her own favorite flavor combinations as well as those most frequently requested by bridal couples. For each of the 16 cakes, Wilson provides essential details—a timeline, thorough recipe directions, and tips. Recipes range from the lighthearted Raspberries and Cream Cake to the contemporary Nutella Cake and the sophisticated Gilded Mocha Cake. Color photographs of all the finished cakes and dozens of how–to photos give you the inspiration and know–how to bake your own special wedding cake.
As Wilson says, wedding cake flavor and design choices are infinite. In Wedding Cakes You Can Make, she helps you create your own special slice of what is possible.
