Budget Cake, Luxe Flavor Here's how to get the most cake for your money 
If you don't watch it, the wedding cake can quickly become a huge expense. Splurging on five tiers with multiple flavors and sugar flowers in every bite isn't worth the high cost for everyone, so here are some inexpensive ideas for a cake that's right on target. Price Tiers The first and most important thing to remember is to be honest and clear about the budget you have in mind. If you're having a bakery prepare the cake, be sure to tell them about your budget concerns up front at the tasting. Some bakeries also have price minimums, so it's a good idea to get the cost issue squared away first. "When I ask my [clients] about their budget, I'm not asking this to see how much I can get out of them," says Keli Fayard, the co-owner and chef at Vanille Patisserie in Chicago. "I'm asking this so I can design a cake that they will love and they've budgeted for. I like to come up with a design that includes a splash of color and a little wow-factor yet still falls within their preferred price range." When planning the cake of your dreams, the general rule is that the more time-intensive it will be to make, the more it will cost. This means adding flavors, tiers, or even changing the shape from round to square will increase the cost. Heavy use of fondant icing or sugar flowers also can bump up the price, as can custom colors if the decorator chargers for hand coloring. "To keep costs down, choose simple, round and white," says Fayard. She recommends adding your own decorations just before the reception, going with fresh flowers, lace or ribbon. They're not hard to work with and make a big impact. Flavor Doesn't Have to Be Frugal One thing that you should not skimp on, however, is the taste. "No one should ever sacrifice on flavor," says Cheryl Kleinman of Cheryl Kleinman Cakes in New York. "The cake should always taste really, really good. The couple and the guests should be very satisfied." She suggests getting a small, tastefully decorated two- or three-tiered cake for cutting in the ceremony, then sheet cakes to serve the guests. This way, you won't have to skimp on ingredients. "The money should go into having a great-tasting cake," Kleinman advises. "Lower-end bakers aren't using the best ingredients, but the high-end ones are, even ingredients on an organic level." Your guests will remember the taste of world-class chocolate more than they will the intricate details of the sugar flowers. Plus, it's not going to last forever - you're going to end up eating it anyway. |
