MY GAME PLAN!
This cake design is a total of 3 tiered cakes. A center cake: 14", 12", 10" and 8" squares of strawberry cake with vanilla filling and vanilla cake with raspberry jam filling. Because the bride wanted the look of three cakes but only needed about 200 servings, the two side cakes are actually dummy cakes, styrofoam covered with icing and decorated. Each cake will have a fondant lilac bow.
Knowing that I have to start baking when I get home from work a game plan is essential. I don't want to spend time thinking about what I am going to do, I just want to do it. Here is what my game plan looks like
