- wedding cake
One of the biggest focal points of a wedding reception is the beautiful wedding cake. That towering, flowering, blinding beautiful wedding cake with the two porcelain figurines standing on top that the bride and groom cut and then feed to one another.
The top of your cake is traditionally saved and eaten on your first wedding anniversary. So choose the flavor that both of you will enjoy and make that your wedding topper.
If you are working on a budget, shop around for prices on wedding cakes and be sure to sample them. Most wedding cakes are purchased in a bakery or from a caterer, but there are a lot of supermarkets that make delicious cakes that aren’t as expensive.
The wedding cake does not have to feed all of your guests. Choose the least expensive size that will look remarkable on the table and in photos. Have sheet cakes of the same flavor ordered. Your guests will never know.
If you have someone that has taken a cake decorating class and makes great cakes, you may find that they will do it as a wedding present and it will save you some money.
Although a lot of brides and grooms go with the traditional pound cake taste, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can choose any flavor but keep in mind that not everyone is going to like lemon or raspberry, or any other exotic flavors.
One popular alternative is chocolate chip cake. Another idea is to go with alternating chocolate and vanilla.
A wedding cake doesn’t have to be expensive to be delicious, and you can find plenty of money saving ideas when looking for your wedding cake.
