This is a bride's cake. It was served at a very dear friends wedding.

This is a great white wedding cake for those of you who like it plain. When I was a child, one of my neighbors who was elderly made a lot of wedding cakes for family and other people, and she took great pride in her work. She used fancy staircases you get in cake decorating stores, and even crocheted certain decorations. All is in your imagination. No professional baker did what she did. Be creative.

Very Easy! Add a little more water to ice the cake and a little less to make the decorations!
