i love this idea and i think it gives any wedding a natural more intimate feeling i want to do this for my wedding its beautiful , the hard part for me is going to be finding  the right recipe anf taste for it , i am trying to stay away from flashy cakes and over done decorations i want natural and tasty great idea !

I love this idea! Compared to popular comments....I WILL BE USING THIS IDEA!  =) Thanks for posting it here...it a GREAT help for this bride!  =))

Kuddos to her for finding ways to make her wedding reception personal and find ways to cut costs! I like this idea. I am getting my wedding cake from a bakery, but I will be making my fiance's grooms cake from scratch myself. He likes my baking and I love that it will be another homemade personal touch at our wedding! Who cares if doesn't look like something off Food Network! If you love it, that's all that matters! 

I think after reading all of these comments it is a pity that some of us are so petty. To each is own. Calling someone a bridezilla after they make somewhat uncalled for remarks about the article makes you both wrong. I would never bake my own cake because I don't have the time nor the skill set to create a cake for my wedding. But to those who can or are willing to try, that is wonderful. Different ideas, preferences, cultures, etc. make the world interesting and unique. Regardless of the cost of your wedding, every bride wants her day to be special. Snarky comments are entirely uncalled for, this is a wesbite of information for brides to be, not a dictation of what your wedding should be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone's opinion should be respected ! =) 

BTW, I am going Sylvia Weinstock for our wedding at the Mandarin Oriental NYC, anyone using her make sure it is in your contract to not have a frozen cake. For that matter any cake you order should not be a frozen cake, it really compromises the taste. Many bakers do this for convenience! 

Best of wishes to all you future brides.
