Choose Simple Wedding Cakes

• Simple cupcake wedding cakes have become very fashionable partly as they are great value for money!

  This type of cake is also a relatively easy option to make at home. You can test your culinary skills and make lots of "small" mistakes along the way!

• Gorgeous wedding cakes can still be within your budget if you keep the design simple.

  Forget the myriad of fancy accessories that add so much to the cost. Simple and elegant is often the best.

• The filling you choose in your cake will make a huge difference to the cost!

  Whilst traditional wedding cakes tend to be made of rich, alcohol laden dried fruits, a simple light sponge will a) cost far less and b) will be much more palatable after the rest of your wedding breakfast.

  Tip: A slice of delicious sponge cake will also save on ordering a dessert from your caterer or wedding venue. So you can have your cake and happily eat it too!

Wedding Cake Ideas

Wedding Cakes come in all shapes and sizes.

Decide whether you want a round one, a square shape, a heart shape, an oval cake, a hexagonal one or any other shape you can think of!

Tip: Remember if you choose an "odd shape" this will cost far more as a special mold will have to made or the shape will have to be molded by hand = time consuming and more expensive!

Next choose a color.

Traditional wedding cakes tend to be white but white also goes with any other color so accessorize it or go with a color to match your theme. Bright colors are NOT just for kids birthday party cakes!

If your wedding has a special theme, think about decorations to match.

Beach theme wedding cakes, for instance, are often adorned with fondant shells or tropical fruit.
