In a moment of insanity, I've agreed to do a wedding cake.

No, not just a wedding cake, but also a groom's cake.

Yes, I know I'm crazy. Wedding cakes are stressful.

The bride wants a cake that looks like it has jewels. The place she saw the cake at used tulle that had tiny gems glued on it then wrapped around the cake.  The tulle had to be removed before cutting the cake. I've suggested candy gems so that it will be edible and so that the cake won't have to be disassembled before cutting. My challenge will be in finding a gem mold with small enough gems. The only ones I've found so far have big, chunky jewels:

This website sells edible jewels but they're also too large.

Here is a link to a mold but it's hard to tell how large the jewels would be as it doesn't specify. The entire mold is under 5" but it's pretty priced to order without knowingly

For the grooms cake they want a motorcross theme similar to this:

I found that one on Flickr. I may even sculpt the bride and groom to go on the cake.  I also think this is a really cute idea:


The bride would also like me to transport and set up the cake. I'm not sure what to charge for that so I'm asking my cake decorating buddies for advice.

Wedding cakes make me nervous. If there is any cake you don't want to mess up, it's someone's wedding cake!
