As this sugary treat will be the center piece of your wedding reception and also serve as the dessert, it is definitely worth your while to invest a little bit more to get the right cake for you wedding. However, that said, there are some great ways of getting that cake of your dreams while also staying within your budget.
One thing that affects the size of the cake will be the number of guests you expect to serve. For several reasons you need to have your guest list decided upon early on.
The style of cake will also depend on it’s size. A square cake has more square footage and will feed more guests than a circular one.
Limit the decoration to the top of the cake where it is most noticeable. This will save you money. Use real objects such as fruit and nuts for decoration and not man-made creations.
Consider doing your own cake or having someone close to you do it. It may be worth learning cake decorating and how to make all the little frills that go on a wedding cake.
Consider other alternatives to a wedding cake. Elegant pastry trays are very popular or a cupcake stand is another popular choice.
Whatever you decide be sure it fits in within your overall wedding theme and looks spectacular.
