Save Money on Wedding Cakes-Rent a Cake?!

If you've been pricing wedding cakes, then you know how crazy the pricing can be. $2 for a serving multiplied by your 200 guests equals $400 and that would be for a cheap cake that doesn't even include the elaborateness you expect from your 4-tiered creation.

One bakeries creative solution-rent a wedding cake. Rent the Cake of Your Dreams (http://www.rentthecakeofyourdreams.com/) allows brides to have another option-brides can rent an elegant display cake for their cake table and have their caterer serve a delicious (and less expensive) sheet cake. The best part-guests have no idea that the cake you and the groom are happily cutting and smashing in each other's faces is not the same cake they are being served.

Other options to save money on the wedding cake:
-Like stated above, serve guests sheet cake. Sheet cakes are much cheaper than traditional wedding cake.
-Look at alternative places to get your wedding cake. Most warehouse stores and supermarkets can make wedding and sheet cakes at a fraction of the cost caterers charge. Also call up culinary schools and see if students can make them.
