Hey everyone, my wedding is in 18 days and I decided to call and cancel my 3 tiered cake. I'm really praying that I made the smart move.
Hubby and I are trying really hard to keep costs at a minimum right now and that cake was going to be just over $400! Personally, I think that's a lot of money to spend on a cake when our wedding will only be about 50 people! The servings will be too much and while I do want to have a cake, I can't imagine paying $300 for one and not eating it all. We're also having a fruit tray and a TON of traditionally Arab sweets, so half the people won't even touch the cake!
Here's my plan: Cancel the tiered cake (continue to have the Groom's cake which is shaped like the car that Hubby rebuilt when he was 22) and order a sheet cake from The Nugget grocery store. I've had them at engagement parties previously and was blown away by how great it tasted to the point where I had an entire conversation with that bride about where she got it! I called and found out that for a sheet cake, decorated HOWEVER I want, that serve 80 people (far more than we need but whatever, people can take it home), the cost is only $59.99!!
Someone tell me I made the smart choice. I was super excited about a tiered cake but wasn't impressed with my baker after I had them make an engagement party cake (mind you, this is after I already gave them a deposit). Opinions ladies!! What do we think??!
