Saving the Top Tier of Your Wedding Cake
It's de rigueur for newlyweds to save the top tier of their wedding cake to enjoy on the first anniversary.

Reader Tip: Elegant Icing Spheres
I was checking out the Cake Decorators Unite group when I discovered this Christmas Cake from TeamSugar member 4BYRDS. It's a beautiful cake that's been dusted with gold luster dust and topped with three golden ornaments. If you're wondering how she crafted those elegant ornaments, her secret was to inflate small balloons and then pipe royal icing on to the outside.
