There are many things to keep in mind when trying to order a budget friendly wedding cake, such as, the more detailed and larger the cake is the more expensive it can be. Below are a few suggestions in keeping cost down and still getting a beautiful wedding cake.

3. Fresh vs. Gum Paste
Flowers on a wedding cake are always a popular design, but they can come with an expensive price tag. If you like the look of flowers choose fresh flowers compared to the labor intensive, hand crafted, pricey, gum paste flowers.

4. Scale Down the Size:
Rather than having a huge cake that will feed all of your guest scale down your design. Ordering a sheet cake to be in the back to be cut up when the cake is served is a easy way to cut your cake cost. If you like the look of the large cake choose to do some dummy cake tiers or a whole dummy cake with a side cake.
