Cheap Wedding Cake Ideas

New cheap wedding cake ideas that are fashionable at the moment are to have tiers of wedding cupcakes, each cake individually decorated. This does work out to be a cheaper option depending on your choice of baker and decorations. I have seen 7 tiers of white chocolate cupcakes which looked stunning.

If you have your heart set on a particular style of wedding cake make sure you shop around. Ask the baker for a taste test of their cakes - you want to make sure you are getting the best cake for your money. Yummy free cakes - let me know if you need any help with the tastings!

You can order a smaller cake for 'show' and then have a sheet cake for cutting. A sheet cake is a big square cake decorated with your colour icing, when the cake is cut noone will know it didn't come from the 'real' cake. This saves you money as you are paying for less decoration.

If you still want the cake to look like it has several layers then ask the baker if they will decorate a false tier (normally a box or polystyrene)- then you are saving money on less cake!

There are some bakers that will just decorate the cake for you - that way you can bake the cake either yourself or get a skilled relative to help.

Are there any catering colleges near where you live - worth enquiring if your wedding cake would be a good project for their students? Especially if you ask them to come up with cheap wedding cake ideas as well!

You could order a plain white wedding cake and then decorate it yourself with fresh flowers or fruit - the flowers would ideally need to be picked on the day.

Wedding cakes from supermarkets are not to be overlooked, they taste great and save you lots of money. You can then decorate it yourself resulting in a unique and cheap wedding cake!
