- Some couples need to order a huge wedding cake because large guest list, but they prefer a smaller cake, more delicate. Just as you increase the size of the cake by visual tricks is also easy to lower one’s cake and cost simultaneously.
- A smaller wedding cake can be complemented with a cake pan with identical flavor to split the cost of adding several floors higher cake. Cake pan can be placed on a table of cake, if desired or can be kept up to serve the cake and will provide enough pieces of cake for each guest adding something true size to the wedding cake.
- Smaller servings of the cake: the couple may instruct the waiters to cut smaller portions of cake, thereby maximizing the number of pieces without increasing the size of the wedding cake.
- Pieces of the layer above: Rather than keep the top layer of the wedding cake to celebrate an anniversary, the couple can serve it to the guests. The top layer can typically be cut in less than eight or ten slices without difficulty.
- Sweet buffet: instead of serving more cake, the couple can opt for an extra dessert to create a full sweet buffet with smaller wedding cakes as a central element. Cookies, cakes, wedding truffles and fresh fruit are convenient options to add a sweet variety.

A small but important detail of your party is the set to serve the wedding cake. Your wedding cake itself will be a focal point, or even more during the cutting ceremony of the cake. The set can be also a treasured keepsake in your special day. A set of serving wedding cake is usually reduced to a plateau-shaped like a cake and a large knife as the size of the cake. While some people only plan to use the set for the wedding, others may buy a set that fits their desired model planning to use it long time after the wedding. Whatever you choose, serving set has a value, both practical and sentimental.
Your wedding is unique, and the details of your special day should reflect that. There are dozens of options in choosing a set of serving for the wedding cake for the modern bride.

Engraving can be done on the blades or handles set, depending on the materials the handles are made. Engraving the wedding serving set,can add a special touch and make it even more memorable as a souvenir.
I have seen sooo many bloggers and planners write articles to Brides telling them to get a small cake and add a sheetcake to save money. All of the decorators I communicate with –do NOT do this. Furst of all it’s just tacky to serve part of your guests off of one cake and then make the rest feel like they are getting something less. But to suggest that it be put on the table with the other cake? Its not a church supper –it’s a wedding and the cake is supposed to be the centerpiece of the reception!

If you’re working on a budget, the best way to do the cake would probably be either a cupcake tower, or to have a *very* small cake – just big enough for the wedding party but still pretty – out and presented. Then have a sheet cake in the back that will serve your guests. Staff can then cut and serve the cake more efficiently and guests tend to appreciate this.

If you cant afford to go to Walmart and pay $130 for a tiered wedding cake, then you have no business having a reception. You should just get married at a courthouse. Cupcakes run as much a wedding cake –they are not cheaper. By the time you rent the stand and put the wrappers on them you have a much in it as a cake.
