re: Start large or small?

Birthday cakes are easier to make and there’s less pressure for a beginner than wedding cakes. Brides like to show off their cakes and they usually request elaborate cakes decorated with sugar flowers, ribbons, bling, quilting, etc. They are also much larger – we’re talking 14", 12", 10", 8", 6" – These large tiers are very heavy and you need to be well-versed in stacking cakes and transporting them.

Some people, though, love to make wedding cakes and they concentrate their efforts on perfecting this style. If you think you’d prefer dealing with brides and grooms, you can start out making smaller cakes and work your way up to those beautiful tall wedding cakes.
