Wedding Cake
A wedding isn’t quite a wedding if you don’t have a cake. But what sort of cake should you choose? Well… one that you can afford is the obvious answer.
These days there is no hard and fast rule about the wedding cake. Traditionally, a wedding cake was a fruit cake, decorated with almond icing and a ‘wedding couple’ figurine on top. It was cut into small pieces, placed into gift bags and given to all the guests as a small gift. Nowadays, brides choose all sorts of different types of cake as their wedding cake and once again the decision is only limited to your budget.
It can be an enormous help to your budget if you combine your wedding cake as part of your meal, and perhaps use it as dessert.
Another suggestion is to just have an 8” cake as a centerpiece and surround it by cup-cakes. Positioned on a tiered cake plate – the whole arrangement can look stunning.
Each guest then receives a cup-cake as either a memento or dessert and the larger one can be kept for another time. It’s an inexpensive way to celebrate with a cake.
