How to get a celebrity wedding cake for less?
Jackandbeyond’s bespoke cake consultant Sophia Zimmer had the following tips for those who want a spectacular wedding cake but don’t have a celebrity budget:
“When it comes to wedding cakes, the taller the cake, the higher the price.
Having double tiers or many layers will bring up the cost. If you are worried that a smaller cake might not feed all your guests, you can get around this by ordering some additional cutting cakes of the same flavour. You can even go for individual cakes only and get a beautiful cake stand to display them.
Frosting is your friend! Frosted or half naked tiers are often more moderately priced than the equivalent covered in Sugar Paste or Marzipan. Frosting can also easily be textured to play with the effect.
Another tip if you want a gorgeous cake but you’re on a budget is to keep it simple.
The more handmade decorative elements you add to the cake, the more it will cost. You can create very elegant looking cakes with relatively simple elements.
Fresh flowers for example, even just a few, always look great and can be matched to your table decorations or theme for the wedding. You can also combine them with greenery and / or fresh fruit and your cake will look stunning!
look for a bakery that offers a Wedding Cake Consultation Service. A good Wedding Cake Consultant will be able to design a cake with you that matches your budget, looks great and is unique to you and your wedding.
Feel free to bring in colour samples or ideas for inspiration, but be realistic, not everything you can find on the Internet actually works on a real cake.”
