There are a million ways to go when it comes to picking a wedding cake, from traditional to trendy (donut wall, anyone?). While making your own sounds like a daunting undertaking, DIY brides who are up for the challenge can now buy a Charm City-inspired creation.
Duff Goldman announced a new partnership with Chef'd yesterday, a meal-delivery kit service that sets itself apart by not using a subscription model. The line includes the Celebration Cake, a three-tiered vanilla with vanilla buttercream frosting wedding cake kit. It comes with everything you'll need to make the cake (including a cake pan!), minus a few pantry staples – salt, cooking spray, and plastic wrap – and decoration like ribbon.
If you're worried about your baking skills, Goldman has you covered. He filmed a series of videos for the Chef'd site, offering step-by-step instructions on everything from prepping and frosting the cake to making fondant roses to go on top.
If you're using the cake for a birthday (or just really like bright colors), you can also watch a tutorial on how to color fondant.
The best part? The whole thing only costs $189. Compared to most cakes (and especially over-the-top ones like these), that's a steal.
Of course, you do have to put some labor into it. The whole process is said to take six hours, so it might not be ideal for a stressed-out bride right before a wedding, but you could always enlist a friend who's good in the kitchen to help you out.
Goldman's line includes dessert kits for recipes like brown butter cake, toffee chocolate chip cookies, and blueberry muffins, too.
