Spectacular!
I just couldn't wait to get this book! If you love to create cakes, and not just bake them, this will feed your appetite for cake baking and decorating, and you will place this alongside your other prized tomes of cake education. It's a wonderful journey of the wedding cake, aka "a good thing". If you purchased Martha's "WEDDINGS" book, this is the expanded and transformed chapter on cakes into this book.Martha has outdone herself once more in her passion to give us every possible idea, and instruction, to create the wedding cake of our dreams for the day of our dreams. And to join her in this quest is Wendy Kromer, master baker, who worked for Martha for many years, on both Martha's former TV show and for Martha Stewarts "Weddings" magazine; she now owns and operates her own bakery.While this book was made to help engaged couples decide on what type of cake they would like for their wedding, it also gives instructions should you wish to bake your own wedding...
A Decorating Resource
I cannot add much to Toni "the bookworm's review." The book is gorgeous -coffee table quality. It is loaded with full color photographs, including numerous examples of different piping patterns. The decorating style is very Martha Stewart: classically elegant. The book does not provide pictures of whimsical cakes - there are other books on the market for that.While I did not buy the book for cake recipes (so I can't judge the quality and flavor of the ones provided), I did buy the book to complement a wedding cake decorating class that I am taking. If you are a baker who is very interested in cake decorating, or need instruction on how to prepare large, multi-layered cakes, "Wedding Cakes" is very helpful. If you are willing to put the considerable amount of time needed to perfect these techniques, (and believe me, it takes a lot of practice), this book is a wonderful resource. You will, however, have to be patient; your cakes will not look like Martha's the first...
Great creative guide
As a caterer, I found this book to be a good guide for those who create cakes for special occasions. Many of the cakes in this book are ones that have previously been in "Martha Stewart's Weddings" magazine, and I have made several of them over the years, but it is nice to have the collection all in one source. For the inexperienced, some of the instructions may seem a bit vague, but that is the martha Stewart way, as mostly she assumes that everyone knows how to do the basics. If you've never done this type of baking/creating before, this book is not for you. I do recommend it for those who do this professionally or as an advanced hobby.

how to make a chocolate wedding cake?

You want a chocolate wedding cake that’s not rich?!?!?!

I would try doing this cake from good food… http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4577/wedding-cake-rich-dark-chocolate-cake

It’s originally the bottom layer of a three tier cake. they also give a handy guide on assembling it…

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4578/creating-your-wedding-cake

because the chocolate is the bottom layer, You’d be able to do all three layers chocolate and it’ll hold up ok. It is a fairly dense, cake, but it needs to be to be a tiered cake.

as for the icing, I would use the ready to roll icing (available in all supermarkets) they suggest here. You can either buy white, and add a little food colouring (you can get food colouring gel off ebay which is better) and knead it well until the colour is well distributed. If you have a hobbycraft nearby, they sell coloured ready to roll icing.

btw ready to roll icing is also called fondant icing.

Anyone have any good Traditional Wedding Cake Recipes?

I am looking for Traditional Wedding Cake recipes. I am baking a cake for someone and need the recipe. Just your basic wedding cake recipe.


Yeah, Duncan Hines is the way to go. My mother used Duncan Hines white cake mix, and put a couple drops of butter flavor that she got at a baker's supply store. It was excellent!

Chocolate Embroidery Fondant Cake for a Birthday or Wedding

3 Tier cake inspired by Confetti Cake's design. All accents were made from either gumpaste or fondant.

Frito Pie and the Chip Technology that Changed the World

Does not appear to have referred to fried corn chips in Mexican Spanish. Either way, snack foods with distinctive, masculine “Os” persevered: Doolin would go on to create Cheetos and Fritatos; the company he founded would introduce Doritos and Tostitos.

What’s remarkable in retrospect is that he appears to have intended Fritos as a side dish or even an ingredient. In fact, the first recipe Daisy Dean Doolin came up with in 1932 was a “Fritos Fruit Cake”; its ingredients include candied fruits, pecans and crushed Fritos. Another early recipe for a company contest submitted by the woman who would later became C.E. Doolin’s wife, Mary Kathryn Coleman, described a “Fritoque Pie,” a chicken casserole with crushed Fritos. Her prize: $1. (This recipe has been lost and the lack of documentation probably contributes to competing claims about Frito pie’s origins at a New Mexico Woolworth’s in the 1960s.)

Pies aside, the fried corn chips became a pantry staple and an easy-to-use replacement for cornmeal, salt, and oil. Their versatility was practically unlimited. Advertisements from the 1940s said, “They’re good for breakfast, lunch, snack-time and dinner.”
