Cakes have been an important part of weddings for along time know. It’s unfortunate that a wedding cake has to cost so much money.
Let’s face it, wedding cakes are often wasted. Many of your guests will only take a few bites if any at all. This makes your expensive purchase seem even less valuable. So, what can a bride do save on her cake?
Here are 3 things that will help you save.
#1: Buy A Sheet Cake
Regular old sheet cake will taste just the same as a wedding cake. Some people will try to tell you other wise, but most cant tell the difference. The best thing about sheet cake is that it costs allot less money.
If you still want a normal tier wedding cake you can have one. Just have a small one made up or one made out of foam. Of course your guests won’t eat either one of those. They will be eating a piece of the sheet cake.
#2: Buy From The Grocery Store
Allot of grocery stores have bakeries. They will often make you a wedding cake for allot less then what you would pay for at a bakery. Of course they may not specialize in that sort of thing. But the only thing that really matters is if they can make you a simple wedding cake at a price you can afford. In most cases they will be able to do that.
#3: Avoid Cakes All Together
People like looking at wedding cake more then they do eating it. You might want to set up a nice desert table instead of having a cake. This could have loads of tasty treats that your guests will enjoy.
Plan your fantasy wedding on a budget. Avoid wedding scams and get the lowest prices on every part of your wedding. It’s simple, it works, is stress free, and makes planning your wedding fun.

I strongly recommend the Styrofoam cakes that were mentioned in tip #1. Brides want the appearance of a large cake, but don’t have enough people at their wedding to eat the amount of cake or don’t have the funds to pay for it. Honestly, you can’t tell the difference and it is an easy way to save money. Another idea would be to do an entire Styrofoam cake except one little layer. This would allow the bride and groom to do a tradition cake cutting ceremony. To serve guests, have sheet cakes in the kitchen and have facility staff cut and serve it.
