I love the TV shows Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. I love how they take a cake and make it art. I don’t like the price they put on it. Wedding cake is the same. Lovely and beautiful for a memorable event.
If you have someone you know make your cake, make sure you have them do a mini sample, so you can see their work. You don’t want any surprises on your wedding day. Also make sure they are up for the challenge and can give you want you want. Otherwise, stick with a professional and look for other ways to save money.
Serving cupcakes is unique, and may not be cheaper depending on how you have them decorated and the flavors you go with.
Serving smaller portions may save you money as well. Most companies charge for a 2x4 piece of cake. If you serve smaller portions, you can save money by ordering less cake.
I really like the idea of making a dummy cake. A dummy cake is where you have a baker decorate foam like a cake and you serve sheet cake! You could have a little cake to cut if you wanted that you save for your first anniversary.
If you decide to go with a cake, consider using silk flowers instead of real flowers, to save some money. There are certain flavors that may cost more than others, so sticking to less expensive flavors may be a way to save as well.
If you plan on saving your wedding cake topper to eat for your first year anniversary, store it in Tupperware in your freezer so it will be edible. My wedding was before my love for Tupperware and we just stored it in the box. Our cake was memorable, but not in a good way.
Make your cake choice be savory and delightful!
