Today many brides are planning their weddings on tight budget, these are the brides that will greatly benefit from the free wedding planner apps for iPhone, iPad and android . The price of things are rising steadily every year, the problem, most incomes are not keeping pace with these rising costs. The money you have saved for your wedding might have been enough for a lavish wedding 5-10 years ago but now you may have to make some sacrifices. One of those could be that expensive wedding cake . If you are handy in the kitchen it is possible to create your own one of a kind wedding cake and we are giving you the tools you need to do it.

Baking the layers is really the easiest part, since most cake flavors are available in the easy to use pre-measured box preparations. Here is how to create a foundation: you will need a cake board. To make the board for the bottom layer you need a 1/2in thick piece of plywood. Have the board cut into a circular pattern that will be a few inches larger than the size of the cake. You will also need to have some strong corrugated card board for the other cakes. If you are baking a 3 tier cake you will need to make 4 cardboard circles. Glue or tape the two pieces together for extra strength. Cut two pieces of foil...these will be used to cover the cardboard, make them circular with a two inch over hang. Fold the foil over the cardboard and tape the pieces to the bottom.

Once you have the cake on the board and frosted it is time to set up your supports for the next tier. Make a slight outline of the next cardboard tier on the top of the frosted layer. Using a dowel that is ¼ in thick to find the correct depth of the bottom tier. Do this by pushing it into the center of the cake until it hits the bottom. Once you remove the dowel cut it to the proper length. Cut seven more to this same length. Now insert these dowels into the bottom layer. Now you are ready to place the next tier. Repeat this process for as many tiers as you want to have. You will want the dowels to be the same height and evenly spaced.
