    My mom has been a hobby baker for as long as I can remember. Since we started wedding planning and has been really excited about doing my wedding cake. We're doing cupcakes and a small cake for cutting. Here's the inspiration picture for the cake.

    And here is what we came up with last night for the cupcakes:

    And for the cake itself:

    Showing off - Homemade cake trial! :  wedding IMG 0597

     

    Of course it's a mock up, and it'll be a bit technically better and two layers like the inspiration, but I love it. It's exactly what we wanted.

    I should mention, it looks like a crap ton of incing on there but it's actually not.

    It'll be special to have a mom-baked cake at my wedding! I can't wait!

    Thanks for looking!
