Choosing Your Wedding Cake

The wedding cake is an important part of your wedding reception. The cake occupies center stage and will be admired by all your guests. Therefore, you want to take time to pick the right cake design and flavor that fits into your overall wedding theme. There are many factors to consider when you are making a decision. These include the cost, flavor, number of guests, and design. You can expect to spend a few hundred dollars or much more if you're going with a well-known cake designer.

Here are some tips if you are trying to save money on your wedding cake:

• Make your own wedding cake creations
• Serve cupcakes and a smaller cake for the cake toppers
• Ask a guest with a baking passion to make the cake for you instead of giving you a gift. Just remember to buy the ingredients and toppers yourself.
• Have a baker make the cake but you can put it together yourself
• Buy your own cake toppers and other decorative additions
• Pick up the cake rather than have it delivered.
• Use your own decorations like flowers, autumn leaves as accents rather than theirs etc.
• Use extra candies and Hershey’s kisses as accents
