Three Ways to Cut Cake Costs

The wedding cake you've fantasized about can also be the one your wallet says "yes" to. Here are some great ideas for a more affordable - but still gorgeous - wedding cake.

Get a smaller cake. Show off the beautiful wedding cake for everyone to see, then have a sheet cake of the same flavor cut in the back.

Make mini cakes. Instead of one large cake, split up the cost and ask your baker to make every guest a cupcake of your favorite flavor instead. Top each with something pretty, and build a 'wedding cake' tower of your fabulous cupcakes.

Offer a dessert bar. Another great way to offer dessert while having a smaller cake: set up a dessert bar with mini pastries and coffee to offset a piece of wedding cake.

"With this decorative favor set, now your guests can take a slice of cake home figuratively speaking. Imported directly from Italy, these off-white embossed boxes are a replica of a slice of cake, with each slice wrapped with a satin ribbon and accented with an ivory flower. Filled inside are candies. Display the boxes in a circular pattern to form a two tiered cake. Makes a beautiful presentation as a centerpiece for each table.
