I sat down with Dolly of Dolly’s Sweet Sensations the other day to chat about her life as a wedding cake artist.

Wedding cakes can be such a huge statement piece for a wedding. Just like the hair and makeup and the decorations, a wedding cake helps to tell the story if your wedding and your love. It’s the edible part of your decorations.

A wedding cake can be huge or tiny. It can be standard flavored with a bold design or have a simple elegant design with bold flavors. That’s what I love about wedding cakes is how versatile they are and how much personality you can add to the cake.
