Who's the (cake) boss?

As I admitted in a previous post, I adore cake shows. As a result, I adore cakes. As a result, I took a cake decorating course, bought tons of cake decorating books and now decorate cakes like it's my job (which it's not, I'm a chemist, remember?).

Since FH and I are baking and decorating our own wedding cake, I thought I'd show you some examples of cakes we've made in the past. Hopefully this eases your fears (and perhaps my own) and makes you realize that my DIY wedding cake will be awesome.

I present you with some of our cakes:

 BM C's going away cake (fondant)

FH's aunt's 60th birthday cake (our first tiered cake)

My dad's 60th birthday cake (buttercream/fondant)

FH's chemistry research group cake (fondant)

 

 Annual cottage trip cake (buttercream)

FH's friend's (he's a paramedic) birthday cake (fondant)

Summer BBQ cake (fondant border)

My own birthday cake (buttercream)

Thanksgiving / My mom's 60th cake (ganache and fondant)

My sister's birthday cake (buttercream)

Do you think a DIY wedding cake is crazy? Or do you think we (the cake bosses) have it under control?
