How to save your budget but still have the nicest wedding cake ever ?

 

Wedding cake normally cost from RM400 - RM2,000. Even sometimes it can cost more than RM5K. Depends on the size and type of cake.

 

If you plan to have  simple reception without any pelamin, maybe you can spend more on wedding cake. However, make sure that you assign someone to cut and distribute it to your guest after the cake cutting ceremony... or else u might end up eating that same cake as your breakfast for a week ! :D

 

Ermmm...how to save ?

 

1. You can use a simple butter cake/ choc cake instead of fruit /prune cake. You'll be suprised if you know the price difference.

 

 

 

 

2. Choose plain icing ( nor advisable if the reception in open area ) and decorate with fresh flowers. The main cost involved with a wedding cake is the time it takes for your cake designer to create sugar decorations and hand-piping. To eliminate the extra cost, ask for simple cake and decorate it yourself with beautiful fresh flowers (which are cheaper then confectionary ones).

 

Sweet kan ??? :)..i likeeeee...

 

 

3 . Set your budget...and remember : stick to it . Go according to your budget and also your no of guest. If you order 5 tiers of wedding cake ... but there's only 150 people coming ( and not all wanna eat that cake ! ) do you really think thats necessary ? think .. and think again my dear..

It is very easy, especially in a wedding situation, to get caught up in the extras that will certainly add flair and personalization to your cake, but could eventually leave you in debt. Be reasonable about your budget but keep the number of guests in mind.

 

4. Ask your caterer, if they can include your wedding cake in the package. If you scared that their design is a little bit 'different' from what u have in mind... then go for a simple design. Just order a plain buttercake...and later ask your florist to add a little bit of fresh flowers on top. You might like the end result esp when it comes with a very good cost.

 

 

5. Use a nice cake stand ( rent it ! ). It can make a small cake look bigger and taller.. .

 

 

6. Use a nice ribbon for decoration.. keep it simple;opt for a clean design with an impeccably smooth surface. Add simple details such as a Swiss dot pattern or wide ribbon around the base.

 

 

 

7. Or...you can replace flowers with fruits..nice cute tasty fruits...like strawberries !..sgt2 sedap !

 

 

 

 

So good luck in your wedding planning !
