Baking beauties: How to make your own wedding cake (and stay sane!)

I recently got married and I made our wedding cake. I love to bake, and I had a little previous experience making two wedding cakes with a friend, but this made it no less challenging. But making your own cake saves you a lot of money. If I wanted a cake like the one I made, I would have had to pay about £300-400.

So here are my tips for anyone who is thinking about making their own cake. It’s totally possible… pinkie promise!

Easy, ginger-y punch for a New Year’s wedding (or, you know, anytime)

I pinned this cocktail onto the Offbeat Bride Pinterest account and it pretty much went crazy with repins. I can see why because I, too, want to drink the shit out of that based on looks alone. Plus, I love bubbles. Let’s take a look at what’s in it via the recipe from Cocktail Remedy.

Make a portable favor with cupcakes in a jar (PLUS free printable labels!)

If you’re looking for a way to combine cake and favors, cupcakes in jars are a great option. It makes the cake that much more portable, and those who are full on the meal (including you) can still get their sugar fix later. Plus: CUTE! While you can bake them directly in the jars (like this rainbow cake!), I’d recommend putting them in after. Here’s how.
