Weekly Wedding Tip
brought to you by bridalguide.com
I've noticed that having smaller wedding cakes at receptions has become a growing trend for brides who want to cut down on some of their expenses. An added benefit of having the sheet cake is that the slices can be pre-cut and ready to serve as soon as the cutting cake is removed from display. No need for your guests to wait while the display cake is cut.
Another cost saving option is to serve a dessert bar to your guests and offer coffee and tea along with several small wedding cakes and maybe some cupcakes instead of a larger cake or purchasing a sheet cake.
Do you plan to have a smaller wedding cake and then serve your guests slices from a sheet cake?

We are doing a small 6" cake from a local bakery and serving the dessert offered by our venue! This allowed us to save money and offer our guests a unique dessert option rather than cake!
Great idea, I prefer several small cakes instead a large one. ThanK!
I did something similar but on a large scale. I wanted a huge wedding cake...7 layers, crazy I know. The price was ridiculous so I discussed it with my cake decorator and she created a 'faux' cake for me with just the bottom layer made of real cake for us to cut. Then we bought simple sheetcakes and served those up. We saved about $400
Thanks for the tip! I have heard of brides doing a sheet cake. I've also heard of the fauz cake option. I don't even like cake! I think we're going to do a large dessert buffet and just order a small cake, or a cupcake cake for those who want cake too. I like the idea of a cupcake tower! Different and then I can offer more flavors.
That cake with the green ribbon! Love it! Just great...now you've given me yet ANOTHER idea to consider...because I really like the two side cakes next to the 3 tier cake. Why, oh why!? Thanks for posting the inspiration!
