Wedding Cake Instructions for Baskets of Love

Everything you need to create beautiful wedding cakes. Each style has been designed for fast and easy decorating while offering tasteful elegance.

Before you start:
Using your favorite recipes bake, fill and assemble one 14-inch, one 10-inch and one 6-inch cake.

1)    Using white frosting ice all the cakes.

2)    Mark each cake for scallops. A simple consistent method to mark cakes for scallops is to use a paper or Styrofoam cup. Cups come in many sizes and diameters. Study the cups you have available. You may find several sizes that make perfect scallops for each size cake you are marking. Cut the cup in half and press the lip of the cup gently against the icing. The indentation is a guide to pipe your scallops over.

Mark 4 scallops for the 6-inch cake.
Mark 8 scallops for the 10-inch cake.
Please refer to marking a cake for scallops for additional details.

3)    Assemble the wedding cake following the cake stand assembling instructions.

4)    Using pastry tip #88 pipe a basket weave design, remaining under the scallop markings on the 6-inch and the 10-inch cake and completely covering the sides of the 14-inch cake.

5)    Using pastry tip # 16 pipe an e-motion design over the scallop markings of the 6-inch and 10-inch cakes.

6)    Using light peach icing pipe roses and rosebuds on the surface of the 10-inch and 14-inch cakes with pastry tip #124.

7)    Using green icing pipe leaves around the roses with pastry tip #68.

8)    Using pastry tip #16 pipe a top and bottom shell border on the 6-inch and 10-inch cakes.

9)    Using pastry tip #21 pipe an e-motion design on the top border and a shell design on the bottom border on the 14-inch cake.
