How to Save on Wedding Cake

Cakes can be expensive. Avoid elaborate fondant designs. They take hours of labor. Buttercream is cheaper and tastes better. Use a small cutting cake and serve sheet cakes to guests. You get the photo without the cost. Order a simple cake with fresh flowers on top. Flowers are cheaper than sugar flowers. Order a semi-naked cake. It has very little frosting, which costs much less. Consider a dessert bar. Pies, cookies, and donuts are cheaper than cake. Use a grocery store bakery for a simple cake. Choose a single-tier cake. You do not need three tiers for a photo. The most important factor is flavor and happiness for guests.
