Cheap Wedding Cake Ideas

Who would have thought that a Cheap Wedding Cake could actually be one of the most expensive parts of the reception?If you think about it, the hours it take to bake a cake, assemble a cake, and then decorate it, you can imagine why they cost thousands of dollars.  As beautiful as they are, many budget conscious brides are on the lookout for cheap wedding cake ideas so that they can have something beautiful and elegant at their reception but that won't put them into bankruptcy!  Fortunately the wedding industry has responded and there is a wealth of options to brides who are searching for cheap wedding cake ideas; it might take a bit of legwork to sort through all these suggestions but in the end it will be worth it when you see a beautiful cake that you know you can afford.

Usually Budget Wedding ideas will mean getting away from the standard cake this is several layers tall and decorated by hand.  Remember that your Cheap Wedding Cake is something that is personal to you so don't be pressured by what bakers or caterers say you "must" have.  Many are finding that cupcake towers or trees are just as beautiful as standard tiered cakes and make for great cheap wedding cake ideas.  If the cupcakes are decorated beautifully then they're very attractive and some people don't even notice that they're not a tiered cake until they get up close.  Some even appreciate cupcakes more than a standard cake since each individual cake is decorated and just as beautiful when handed to the guest, as opposed to a slice of cake that just looks like, well, a slice of cake!  So don't ignore cupcakes as cheap wedding cake ideas and ask your baker or caterer for some suggestions and examples.

Many brides also find that they can have a smaller cake for presentation and for the cake cutting part of the reception with less expensive sheet cakes in the kitchen that are then served to the guests, who are usually unaware (and typically don't care) that they're being served something other than the cake they just saw being sliced.Sheet cakes taste the same as a tiered wedding cake because they are make with the same ingredients, but they are much much less expensive to make and purchase!  This can also work as cheap wedding cake ideas because most caterers charge a fee for cutting the actual wedding cake into serving slices but this fee is typically waived for sheet cakes.

You could always skip a wedding cake with multiple tiers and purchase decorative cakes from a bakery.  Who says you need one large cake and only one large cake?  You can have one special one with a cake topper that you and the groom slice together but serve your guests this other selection of cakes as well.
