Cake walk
The season of serial weddings is fast approaching. Now that I know the toe-curling pleasures of planning my own, I can say this with confidence: don’t do it all yourself. One thing you might consider making: the cake.

Epicurious‘ recipe and instructions for how to bake, build, and decorate a more traditional gateau makes the whole ordeal look easy as pie.
