Cheap Wedding Cakes
There are lots of ways to save money, making cheap wedding cakes. Opting for a simple but stunning wedding cake or making your own, are the best two, in my opinion.
Do It Yourself
I personally know of a few brides who have made their own wedding cakes and been very pleased with their creative confections. One friend of mine who had never baked or iced a cake before in her life, decided halfway through her planning process that she was going to be a DIY bride and make her own cake. She had a few trial runs, and of course had fun doing them, but in the end the cake came out beautifully and not one of her 175 guests had any idea it wasn't made in a bakery by a "professional." She got her recipe and wedding cake decorating ideas and instructions from sites like this one.
SIMPLE BUT STUNNING
If you aren't a DIY Bride, choosing a simple cake from a bakery and creating your own "stunning" for it, is a fantastic way to go. The biggest cost on wedding cakes is labor, not the materials used to make the cake. The less time a baker has to spend on your cake, the less it's going to cost. Choose a cake without intricate detailing or icing frills and you will save big bucks. Make your cake stunning by adding your own fresh or silk flowers, or monogram cake topper.
