Factors such as the quantity, size and the number of decorations are dependent to your budget. But you don’t have to spend much paying a baker or a cake artist just to get a perfect cake. Well it is a special day for you but we can always find a way on how to get that special cake and at the same time pay it in the most affordable amount.
And the best method that you can do is the bake your own wedding cake method. If you are a baker yourself, this is your opportunity to make them proud of you. One good option is the fondant icing because all you have to do is lay it to your tiers then it will now look like professionally made. However, if you have a nice handwork on icings then do it yourself, just decorate those along the edges. You may also use the sugar beading design with floral arrangements so the edges of your cake are covered instead of using the icings.
Another popular option is the cake tower made of cup cakes. This is very fun to do and unique as well. It can be served easily and would look very unique once served on a cute silver plate. To add a little bit of a twist add a few cut outs to your cake like putting your initials on it. If your guests see fondant hearts on your cake, they’ll be surprised especially if you design it in different colours. Compared to full size cakes, cupcakes are very affordable and can be easily transferred from one place to another. If you want an elaborate looking cake but still want it cheaper, ask your baker that you want a cake with a foam core or those designed with a cardboard. You will be asked to shoulder the material expenses but don’t worry it will be way cheaper compared to those cake that are not designed on a cardboard. Sheets cakes will be needed to, so make sure you have ordered it already and have it served from the reception’s kitchen to the hall.
If you don’t want to follow the traditional cake then you may use a dessert table with a small cake, cupcakes pies and cookies. Your guests will have a lot to choose from all those goodies. This is like going beyond the ordinary traditional cake and putting dessert table would make your wedding day so much fun especially to your young guest.
One thing to consider in preparing for your wedding cake is your budget. It will depend however on the type of wedding you want, whether you want it formal or casual. Another thing to consider is if an in-house is required by the reception site and which will ask you to pay if you have decided on getting an outside cake. Last thing to consider is the dessert that goes with the meal, your guest may be given the option whether to go on a smaller or on a much bigger cake size.
