I’ve been asked if I could do 250 cupcakes for a wedding in June!! I’ve already done that many for a charity last year, so I know I can do it and cupcakes don’t scare me at all. The bride-to-be is now asking me to give her ideas for a small wedding cake. In the beginning, she did not want a cake. I have never done a wedding cake and I am petrified… The eyes will be on the cake plus the cupcakes of course. I am not sure what to tell her, any suggestions? A small cake should not be scary, just telling myself :-)

I still need to make my first real tiered cake too Dina, it does sound scary, but, as long as you have good dowels you’ll do just fine!!
Best of luck to you my friend!! Xx

Oh you CAN do it! Have faith my friend because obviously we all do. You have a great sense of style and colour and I’m sure the bride-to-be would not even consider having you do it if she didn’t have the utmost faith in you. It will be lovely =D

Dina, you always get scared and your fears turn into an amazing cake!!! So you will definitely do it perfectly we know you :)))
Can’t wait to see it and the cup cakes :))

You can absolutely DO it. Your work is beautiful,

I know how you feel—-I really, really want to do a sculpted horse cake for my niece’s birthday, & I am really, really terrified! But believe me, a small wedding cake is not a problem! I think they are a lot easier than all the complicated birthday cakes that we do! Just relax & let your creativity flow! Your cakes are amazing!!!
