They were lovely, though the variety of flavors did initiate a spate of school-lunchroom style trading.

Not only does it have many recipies, it also tells you how to decorate, display, and even photograph your cake. My wedding cake was a beautiful and tasty three-tiered cheesecake from Martha's old Weddings book, made my my mom. And, yes, it was filled with dowels to support the weighty upper tiers. Having my mom make my wedding cake was very special to me. That said, nearly anyone can make cupcakes, which look beautiful stacked on vintage cake plates, or on cardboard cupcake towers. There are beautiful laser-cut cupcake wrappers available these days (they didn't seem to be around when I had cupcakes at my wedding less than a year ago!) They could make any plain cupcake look extra-special. http://www.paperorchidstationery.com/modules/cart/navigate.php/nav_id/775/page/1//nav_id/775 Martha Stewart has just published a large, gorgeous coffee-table book of wedding cakes.

Cupcakes would be a great way to make your own cake - you can even get really cute (and not tacky!) tiered cupcake holders too. You'll still get the tiered "look", but it's waaaaay easier than a full cake! Cupcakes!
