You could keep the sheet cakes in the back and have them served from there, then nobody will see them. If you are determined to have the big beautiful cake you could have a simple cake made and decorate it yourself. Below is a list of ways to decorate a cake yourself and make it beautiful and unique. Excluding the groom’s cake from the menu is another way to save money. Some couples have even opted to alternate layers of the bride’s cake one white and the next chocolate. Here to if you bake or decorate it yourself you cold save a tremendous amount of money. There are a couple of other things that you need to watch out for when deciding on a wedding cake. First, do not be fooled into thinking that cupcakes are cheaper than a large wedding cake. Any baker that has to decorate a bunch of smaller cakes will without a doubt charge you more. Second, when a baker tells you how many people the cake can serve you need to ask if that includes the top layer. The top layer is traditionally saved for the couple to eat on their first anniversary, so you do not want this layer counted in the serving count. Also, if you are having a friend cut the cake for you at the reception instead of paying the location to do it then you need/ MUST know how to properly cut the cake in order to get the right amount of servings out of the cake. These slices are much smaller than the slice you would serve your guest in your own home. Below you will find links to slicing charts for your cake. I have also included links to websites where you can get more ideas or the products to do it yourself.
