DIY Wedding Cakes
One way to save money on your wedding is to make your own wedding cake. And when I say you, It could be a friend or relly who like to bake and would love to help out or they could even do it as a gift for your wedding.
- Firstly, you need to decide on the cake you would like. If you are a newbie, try to select a cake which has simple decorations e.g. ribbon, a bought topper, fresh flowers (they need to be pesticide and herbicide free)
- Secondly, select the type of cake, frosting and fillings for your wedding. Simpler cakes are white or yellow cake, while simpler frostings are butter cream or Italian meringue. However if the baker is experienced, you could select something a little more difficult e.g. a mud cake with a white chocolate ganache or mousse, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting or red velvet cake.
- Consider a cupcake wedding cake if you are making your own wedding cake – they are much easier to make and frost or ice.

Good luck with your approaching wedding.
