Of all the delectable treats in the world, none is so closely associated with celebrations than cake. We eat cake at nearly every celebration imaginable: birthday parties, retirement parties, baby showers, and the list goes on. But when you?re celebrating a wedding, a cake isn?t just a sweet dessert?it?s a display piece.
Wedding cakes are often carefully crafted and jaw-droppingly beautiful, covered in intricate details like piped-on lace and delicate sugar flowers. The level of artistry and craftsmanship that goes into your average wedding cake is downright incredible?which might be why this edible artwork can be so expensive. These days, the average wedding cake in the United States costs between $300 and $700!
Luckily, you don?t have to fork over (see what I did there") a ton of cash to get the wedding cake of your dreams. With a little creativity and a few small swaps, you can get a beautiful cake for a much lower price! Here are a few suggestions to help save money on your wedding cake. 1. Keep it Small

Like most aspects of a wedding, the cost of a cake varies wildly from one couple to the next. Many things affect the final price: ingredients, variety of flavors, decorative flourishes, and, of course, size. A typical wedding cake is meant to feed your entire guest list, so a larger wedding will require a larger (and more costly) cake.
At first, it may seem like you can?t avoid paying for a large cake. After all, you need to make sure there?s enough for everyone!...
