Hope this helps you..Anyone have a simple-read recipe to make a small mini wedding cake?
Mexican Wedding Cakes


INGREDIENTS


3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar


1 cup butter, softened


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1 cup ground blanched almonds


2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS


Cream together confectioner's sugar and butter. Add vanilla, cinnamon and almonds.


Knead in flour by hand until completely mixed.


Chill dough for about an hour.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.


Roll out dough to one inch thickness. Cut into 1 inch pieces, and roll quickly and gently into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes.


When baked, dip or roll in confectioner's sugar. Store airtight in layers with waxed paper in between.
Petie Fours are the same as any other cake, just covered in fondant to make it look better, nothing super fancy.
Honestly,even if your going small with the wedding,unless you have good experience or practice I wouldn't attempt a wedding cake. Even I am not that brave. :)


However if you still want to try it, try a cooking class,baking and pastry arts,maybe for a project you could make a wedding cake,this way you have someone to help you and not just be out on your own. Weddings are stressful enough.
