Do It Yourself Beach Wedding Cakes

Beach weddings are a pleasurable experience especially in summers. You can thoroughly enjoy your special day in that tropical environment. Beach wedding cakes should suit the beach or marine environment.

There are many DIY or do it yourself kits to make your own wedding cake. Although, this can be quite a task especially when you know your cake has to be good for this special day, you can learn to bake a good cake with practice.

DIY kits would help you to learn the art and master it gradually. You would have a good time apart from saving money especially if you enjoy baking or cooking in general. A good idea is to involve your partner and bake the cake together; of course if he is interested.

Start off with square shaped or circular cakes. Bake three different sizes of cakes for the three tiers. You can buy a fondant mix from a local baker. Practice applying the fondant on the cake. You can decorate each layer separately with a typical beach theme using shells, pearls, starfish, oysters or anything that suits your imagination of a marine life.

You can buy these décor items from a local baker. They are mostly made of sugar and gum. Another option is to use real shells or oysters. However, make sure they are cleaned thoroughly well. You can place some of these beach décor items on the table to decorate the cake table.

Do it yourself or DIY wedding cakes could save a lot of money rather than booking it with a baker. However, make sure you are confident of what you are doing as there would be hundreds of guests who would eat your bridal cake. Do not do it at the last moment. Practice it once at least a month before your wedding so that there is enough scope for experimentation and improvisation.
