A multi-tiered wedding cake beautifully decorated is an important part of any bride’s dream wedding, but the price tag can give you nightmares. Use these tips to take a bite out of the bill. Here’s a cheap wedding idea. You can have a cheap wedding cake that looks like a million dollars to help you stay on budget. More below.
If your heart is set on a three tiered cake that feeds 100, order it with plain white frosting, no decorations, and then decorate at the reception with fresh flowers. Or you can wrap a length of lace around each layer, like you would a ribbon. Of course remove the lace before cutting.
Stick with basic flavors and fillings, exotic flavorings add to the cost of the cake.
Rather than one huge multi-tiered cake, use a modest tiered cake and then several (as many as you need for your guests) sheet cakes. Serving will go faster this way as well.
Order from a grocery store rather than a bakery. Many grocers have onsite bakeries, just like they have onsite florist departments.
