A Friend's Wedding Cake is Practice

It's hard enough to make your first wedding cake, but it's harder still when it's for your own wedding. Then you have to squeeze in baking, frosting, and decorating in between the final dress fitting and the rehearsal dinner. Your nerves are also more likely to be on edge, so it might be harder to deal with anything that goes wrong. Yet as a baker, making your own wedding cake is very tempting. Especially when you see how expensive they are, it's hard not to say, "I could do that!"

So Weijia from Dinner with Weijia did something smart: she baked a friend's wedding cake as practice for when she makes her own later this year. She had the real time constraints of an actual event, including figuring out how to transport everything across the state. Best of all, she really enjoyed herself while making it!
