Wedding CakesWedding cakes are works of art, both inside and out. They're also a costly business as it takes time to make and decorate a cake. When I was getting married we looked into the cost and was surprised at some of the prices, over the last few years things have changed though. For a professionally made three tier wedding cake, the prices start at around £200, however many professional bakers now offer budget cakes as demand has grown for cheaper options. If you start to add fancy icing and decorations though, the cost will rise sharply. A popular alternative is hiring a fake wedding cake, where fake cake tiers are created with polystyrene and then iced and decorated as per the wedding cake of your choice. You pose for photos with the fake cake and then cut up a "cutting" cake behind the scenes to serve to your guests.
This section is intended to give you some ideas and tips for lowering your cake costs, information on how to make your own cake including pitfalls, things to look out for and tricks to reduce your costs. There's also a guide to the best cheap cakes on the high street. If you're up for making your own, there are some tried and tested recipes with English measurements, from Britain's famous chefs, with recipes including traditional fruit cakes, chocolate cake and choux pastry buns. For those wanting a more simple budget option, you could try making cupcakes instead.
