BUDGET SMART FOR YOUR WEDDING CAKE

Searching for a budget-friendly cake but not sure where to start? With the cost of living problems at the moment and the huge price hikes in butter, sugar and eggs (if we can find them!) pushing cake suppliers to the brink, it may seem difficult to create the cake of your dreams without breaking your wedding budget. To make sure you find a cake that fits your budget and your desires, consider these money-saving tips: 

• Connect with your cake designer: They may be able to help you create a design that fits your budget and still gives you the look you're after.
• Take intricacy into account: Highly detailed cakes with handmade sugarart and intricate piping work require more time, skill and ingredients, resulting in higher costs.
• Request quotes: When asking for quotes, provide as much detail as possible (e.g. delivery date, number of guests, flavours, etc.) to get an accurate estimate.
• Review your budget: If the quotes exceed your set budget, you may need to increase it.
• Research your options: Look for price guides on supplier websites to get an idea of what's available. 

Finding a cake that fits both your budget and your dreams is possible—it just may require a bit of research and communication. Use these tips to help you get the cake you want without shattering your wallet.

​At the end of the day, the goal when planning a wedding is to make sure you have a beautiful and memorable day, one you can look back on with fondness and great joy. With a few savvy decisions, you can have a dream-worthy cake without blowing your budget.
