All brides know that a beautiful wedding cake is a show-stopping part of any wedding reception.
However, there are many clever ways to make sure you can still have the wedding of your dreams without spending a fortune and without compromising on the quality.
Two may be cheaper than one
This is a budget-savvy technique for large weddings with over 100+ guests. All you have to do is to supplement the picture-perfect display wedding cake with another sheet cake, which is usually much cheaper and can cut the per-person cost in half. In case you’re worried that your guests may notice, why not decorate both cakes in the same design and icing?
Don’t forget, not everyone eats the cake, so for a wedding of 200, you can easily reduce the size to 170.
Make cake the dessert course
Dispense with a separate dessert course and simply present the wedding cake as your dessert, together with tea and coffee to end the meal. Cheesecakes and chocolate fudge cakes double up as a spectacular dessert and provide a unique alternative to a traditional wedding cake.
Give it away as a favour
Why not kill two birds with one stone by giving little sweet treats away when your guests leave the party. Cheesecake minis and cheesecake cupcakes are the perfect gift your guests can take away with them as a little memorabilia that, if eaten within a few days, can conjure up the good memories from the wedding day.
The tiers equal your cost
The higher you go, the higher the price of the tiers so it’s best to keep the number of tiers to a minimum, or opt for a display of several one-tier cakes on stands of varying height.
