    Hi bees,

    I want to diy my cake if possible because I don't really have a dream cake, most of the guests will be eating sheet cake anyway, and the normal cost of wedding cakes isn't in my budget. I was browsing a while back and saw this cake and loved it. But, I quickly wrote it off because of our summer in Hawaii wedding. I decided I wanted a naked cake. It turns out, however, that naked cakes are a little harder to make than I thought (though, it's sitll on the table).

    But, I saw the sorbet cake again and would really love to have one. I love sorbet and FI and I used to eat it all the time. I was planning on doing cake right at the beginning of the reception, so it shouldn't have too much time to melt. Could I keep it in the freezer and then put it on dry ice at the last minute? Or is this a dumb idea?

    Thanks!

    The sorbet looks cool, but very impractical. If one thing goes wrong or behind schedule, it becomes a melted mess. You also have to keep in mind that once you cut the cake, the staff has to serve it to the guests, which can take time.

    Thanks for the advise! I didn't think about the serving it to the guests part. I'm planning on having a small cake to cut, and then serving most of the guests sheet cake, which might help. Would it be really strange if we were the only ones that ate that cake and we just poped it back in the freezer? Probably.

    Why don't you serve sorbet in it's usual form if it is meaningful for you?  Cute cones or mini frozen cakes could work, maybe formed in a cupcake pan or mini loaf?  I am having a North Shore wedding and worried about everything melting too.  Good Luck!
