Wedding guide: How to buy wedding cake

A pretty wedding cake would make your special day more romantic and memorable. In tradition, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all guests and the couple. Wedding cakes range in size and style. Here are some ideas on buying wedding cake for your big day.

How to buy a wedding cake?

I believe all people want a cake that's compatible with the look of the wedding venue, the wedding gown, the flower arrangements and the menu. So you’d better choose your wedding cake after you have made your major wedding decisions. The price of wedding cake generally ranges from $3 to $30 a slice. You should have a budget in mind. Also, you should know how many wedding guests you will invite to your wedding party. Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests and five layers for 200 guests. After you have decided the style and size of the wedding cake, you must choose a flavor you love. Also, you should consider the weather and your wedding venue. For example, if you are having an outdoor wedding in hot summer, you should avoid whipped cream, meringue and butter cream since they would melt.

What are trending now about wedding cake?

Instead of one larger confection, consider offering multiple cakes in smaller sizes. It’ll give you the option to serve more than one flavor, and guests will marvel at your abundant dessert spread. If you are having an outdoor wedding, you may give your cake a garden-fresh look by adorning it with lush blooms in colors that match your palette. In recent years, bite-sized cupcakes are becoming more and more popular. You may elevate the cupcakes by displaying on a tiered tray, or embellish them with sparkling sprinkles like we did here.

How to get a lower wedding cake price?

1. If you wish to cut down on the cost of the pillars, you may consider borrowing the pillars. There are disposable pillars available with your local baker or rental companies which are a better alternative than those crystal pillars.

2. Usually, the relatives and well-wishers ask what you need as a gift, you can ask them for a wedding cake topper.

3. If you want flowers on your cake but the cost of the sugar flowers isn't fitting in your budget, you can decorate it yourself or have the florist do it for you.

4. You may consider a smaller tiered cake for effect, and get a sheet cake to feed the guests. A kitchen cake is an undecorated cake that looks exactly like your wedding cake when cut and is cheaper than a decorated cake of the same size. This way you can save a little.
