MIL Making our wedding cake..

I know how it feels to tell your MIL how bad her cake baking is to avoid any negative reactions. FH should let his mom know instead and say it would be better to have some of the desserts you make better as an alternative though we appreciate you making the cake itself for us. Sometimes the news is not taken well from the fiancé as much as the son/daughter does say to their own parent. I hope she does take it well and be happy to make her own dessert.

I agree with what Samantha said, there is really no way on saying it nicely to your MIL and FH that what she made is not to your liking and you prefer to have it professionally made.

ALSO if cakes/cupcakes are not her style of baking - I would suggest maybe having her make a dessert bar instead? She can set up the table to her liking on the wedding day and set all the baked goods she can make like brownies, cheesecake squares, tarts, etc.

For some, the wedding cake is a big deal. They like the idea of photos being taken at the time the cake is cut, enjoy the intimate moment of feeding each other cake and the last thing that person wants is to cut in a cake not "picture worthy" and try to choke down something dry.

Hey Shanise! I can totally understand where you are coming from and how you feel. I would mention this to your fiancé, if you haven't already. Maybe there is a way to compromise, would your MIL be able to bake a cake for an event prior to your wedding day? Like your engagement party or rehearsal dinner/post wedding brunch. I hope this helps
