Congratulations on making the brave decision to decorate your own wedding cake! By choosing this option, you can save a considerable amount of money and, better yet, cut your cake with pride on your wedding day. Cake decorating can be a specialist art, but with a few expert tips, you too can create the perfect wedding cake.

First up, dont take on more than you can chew! Weddings can be a stressful experience, so if youre not confident that you can do the decorating, swallow your pride and fork out the extra cash so that you can walk down the aisle with a smile on your face. Elaborately-decorated cakes may look great in bridal magazines, but wont taste any better and will certainly by harder to make if you have just a little decorating experience. Choosing a simply decorated cake will add an elegant touch to your wedding and give you an achievable project to work with.

A good way to compromise is to buy a pre-made cake and decorate it yourself, rather than attempting to do both. Odd-shaped, multi-tiered cakes can require more assembly than your average inner city apartment block and this can be prohibitive for first time decorators. If you choose a rectangular, square or round cakes with only a single layer, or minimal assembly, you will have less room for error.

Whether you are buying a pre-made cake, or baking your own, good quality ingredients for your frosting and cake toppers will mean that your decorating job is easier. These ingredients will blend better (and oftentimes have more flavor) than cheaper ingredients. Likewise, its important to ensure that you have the right sort of decorating tools non-stick piping bags with a variety of tips, long and short, as well as angled spatulas, and a turn table to make rotating the cake easy.

One of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of cake decorating is creating sugar flowers to decorate the cake top. A wonderful alternative is to have your florist prepare you a fresh flower arrangement to sit on top of the cake. The flowers can match those used in your ceremony and reception and can also be kept as a souvenir. If choosing fresh flowers, ensure you let your florist know what you plan to use them for some flowers are treated with pesticides and some flowers, such as Lily of the Valley, are toxic.

Finally, its important to allow yourself enough time to decorate the cake if you try to do it when you are behind schedule and stressed, you are almost guaranteed to end up with a disaster. Plan ahead and have a trial decorating run. Although you want your day to be perfect, you can be confident that only you will know that the fondant icing is a little better applied on the left hand side of your cake no one else will notice, especially when they get to tasting just how good it is!
