With wedding cakes costing a bloody fortune these days, why not make the most of your investment and have the cake plated and served as dessert, thereby saving you money on your reception menu.
While fruitcake remains the traditional choice, mud cake, sponge cake, marbled cake or any combination of the above for each layer is becoming more and more popular with today's bridal couples.
The chef will, for a small fee per person, take the cake away after the cake cutting ceremony, cut it up and serve it with a delicious swirl of fruit coulis and cream.
Just remember that if you want to go with the tradition of saving the top layer for either the first wedding anniversary or the christening of the first child, you will need to have at least this layer as a fruitcake, because mudcake won't last long in the freezer no matter how nicely you ask it to!!
Another money saving wedding cake tip is to have a smaller, yet beautifully decorated cake for display and for the cake cutting, and have your cake maker make a simple iced slab of the same, called a "kitchen cake" for the chefs to cut and serve along with your display cake. It will save you money, and your guests will never know the difference!
Mmmmm, cake. I think it might be time for a snack...

Pleased to know about this information on money saving tips for wedding. Couple of months ago, I had arranged my sister’s wedding at one of elegant Seattle Wedding venues. Decorated wedding venue with lovely flowers and everyone liked all arrangements very much.
