Small Wedding Cake Ideas

Small wedding cake ideas are becoming more and more popular, not just for the savings that you make but also because you can be so creative.

There is an obvious saving with a small wedding cake, most cake makers will charge you per slice so the smaller the cake the less it will cost.

Even if you have quite a few guests you can still have a small wedding cake for the photos and for display and then have a sheet wedding cake to serve to your guests. Have the sheet cake cut before the reception and wrapped and you will save on the rediculous cost of having the cake cut for you. This must be the cheekiest wedding cost of all, when venues charge per slice for your wedding cake to be cut! Make sure you check that your venue doesn't.

Small wedding cakes are also great for showing your style. If you want wedding cup cakes then a small wedding cake for a 'top tier' is perfect for cutting the cake. You can co-ordinate your small wedding cake with your cupcakes with the decorations on both.
