Of all the decisions that go into planning a wedding, choosing the cake may be the sweetest. Much more than dessert, this beloved wedding symbol should be as special as the bride and groom themselves. Whether you imagine a majestic cake blooming with fresh flowers, a pristine fondant-covered masterpiece, or a homespun take on strawberry shortcake- or even if you don’t know where to begin- Martha Stewart’s Wedding Cakes will provide you with more than 100 delicious and inspiring ideas for timeless and beautiful confections that are perfect for every style of wedding.
Not just visually inspiring, these pages are filled with information you won’t find anywhere else.

Novice and experienced bakers alike will find recipes and insiders’ techniques to create truly memorable wedding cakes.
You will learn:
Where to begin- how to decide what style and flavors are right for you, taking into account the season, location, and theme of the event
Buttercream or fondant? Ganache or meringue? Useful charts explain the delicious materials bakers use, so you can choose the ones that suit your taste and style

Coffee Table Book |
|
Nice book, but more of a coffee table book than a how-to. It does have some great photos and good recipes. |

One in a million |
|
I've been on the search for the perfect wedding cake recipe for over ten years. You can call it an obsession as I personally love the way wedding cake tastes and I'm not even married! I bought this book as soon as it was published and the recipes are incredible - as well as the photos. For anyone who bakes wedding cakes this is one recipe book worth the investment. |

martha stewart's wedding cakes |
|
I have bought a lot of cake decorating books but if you are looking for a guide to decorating cakes I thouroughly recommend buying a collette peteres or peggy porschen. Even though this book has a lot of photo's it provides some information not much and honestly for the price I would prefer to buy a wedding cake magazine. This book was a dissapointment not very helpful or useful really. |

Great book! |

I gave it four stars because the cakes were ones that were in the magazine at one time or another. I was hoping to see some new ones. Great quality book and beautiful pictures! |

Absolute Treasure |
|
Everyone that dreams of designing beautiful cakes, should have this on their night stand. I don't know how many nights I have studied it pages before going to bed, what an absolute treasure this book is. It's like the Holy Grail of cake books. You won't regret it. |
