Anyone who has ever seen the price of a wedding cake knows that they can be very expensive, especially if you're on a budget. If you're looking for a cheap wedding cake, you may need to think outside the box in order to find it. Here are three ideas to get your cake and still save money.

1. Have a friend or relative make your cake for you . If you do not have a friend or relative who can bake, ask around because odds are good that someone knows someone. Not only will you get a much better price, but the person may even offer to make the cake for free.

2. Buy a pre-made cake from a store . Instead of getting the cake from somewhere that specializes in wedding cakes, try a bakery inside of a grocery store or even a warehouse store. Many places make beautiful half-sheet & sheet cakes and will personalize it according to your needs. The price of these cakes is a fraction of the cost of a traditional wedding cake and they are often just as elegant.

3. Break tradition and have wedding cupcakes instead . This seems to be a new trend, but a great one nonetheless. Skipping the cake for cupcakes allows you to create them yourself and you can decorate them any way you'd like. And, if you're really creative, you can use the cupcakes themselves to become part of a larger design, such as a wedding ring or a swan. You can use a cupcake tree to display a large amount of cupcakes too, so there really are a lot of options with cupcakes.

As you're planning the different aspects of your wedding, do not get discouraged with finding a wedding cake that will not break the bank. Trying one of these simple ideas should save you a ton of money compared to a traditional wedding cake and will still look (and taste) just as great.
