I haven't yet had the pleasure of planning my own wedding, but i have a feeling that the cake tasting day is going to be my favorite! The wedding cake is such an important part of the day, and there are so many different options to choose from when it comes to picking out your cake.

As important as the cake is, it's doesn't make much sense to spend tons of money on something that is just going to get eaten within a few short hours. Whether or not you are a super savvy baker, you too can design your own wedding cake with the help of Quick and Easy Wedding Cakes by Karen Goble.

Inside this 112-page book, you will find 22 different cake designs that even an inexperienced cake decorator can complete. If you're not a big baker and the thought of being in charge of your wedding cake sounds terrifying, let me assure you that this book makes it impossible for you to fail. Before you get into the cake designs themselves, there's a section of the book dedicated to teaching you everything you need to know about making your own wedding cake from scratch. There's a separate chapter for each step of the way including the equipment you need, recipes for the cake itself (such as sponge cake, fruit cake, and chocolate cake), cake preparation, and assembling the cake.

Once you feel you're ready to begin, it's time to pick our your design. There's a nice variety of cakes to choose from including stacked cakes, tiered cakes, and even chocolate cakes. No matter what season your wedding is in, or how big the celebration is, this book has the perfect cake design for your special day. Choose from cakes such as Burgundy Rose Drape, Chocolate Delight, Pretty in Pink, Regal Elegance, and more. Although they are all so pretty, my personal favorites would have to be Glistening Crystals, Lace and Hydrangeas, and White Wedding.
