[Inez] Wedding cake plans

My dear friend (and roommate for three years) Stephanie Wu just got engaged to her boyfriend of 4 years! I couldn't be more happy for her. She's eaten many of my birthday cakes, and she loves them so much that she asked me to make her wedding cake!!! I just tentatively agreed. The wedding will be on the first or second weekend in June, so stay tuned while I become totally obsessed with wedding cake... done my way. A.K.A. beautiful, delicious, and not too fancy.

Here is where I'm starting:

• Joy the Baker (one of the food blogs I follow) chronicles her first step into Wedding Cakelandia, with advice on how to use dowels to support the layers needed to feed 100 people.
• The man in this couple made their wedding cake, and he had the clever idea to make a smaller pretty cake to cut and then a big ole sheet cake to feed the masses. Interesting.

I know, I know, there are no pictures in this post. I'll put up some pictures of a mocha cake I made last month soon. And Elise has promised to help me revive this blog, too!
