The wedding cake can take up a large portion of your budget. This is why many couples are looking for ways to cut costs on cake design, decorations, and service costs. In this article we will take a look at some ways you can save on the cake.

Make The Cake Yourself

The first thing you should consider is making the cake yourself. If you keep the design simple then there is no reason why you can not make a cake yourself. There are lots of tutorials online that will even show you how to make your own.

Decorate The Cake Yourself

You can have a baker make the cake for you, but leave it undecorated. You can then decorate yourself or have a friend or family member do it for you. This could save you several hundred dollars.

Buy Cheap Toppers

Some cake toppers cost ridiculous prices. However, if you know where to buy them you can get a cake topper for under $ 20. One cheap place to look is eBay. You would be surprised by the toppers that are selling there for under $ 20 or even under $ 10.

Check The Grocery Store

Some local grocery stores have bakeries. These bakeries are often cheaper then a normal bakery. You will have to ask them to see if they can bake you a wedding cake. Be sure that you get quote while you are at it.

Consider Cake Alternatives

Lots of couples are thinking outside of normal wedding cake. Many are starting to have cheesecake, cup cakes, fruit salads, and even pies. Many of these options are cheaper and some are doing it because they do not want a cake.

If none of those ways sound very appealing to you then just make sure that you do careful inspection of your prices. Are they charging extra for transportation? Do they have high cake cutting fees? Try to get some of those hidden fees reduced to save money.
