Choosing the Perfect Wedding Cake for Your Big Day

Your wedding cake is not just a delicious dessert, but also a stunning centerpiece of your wedding reception. It plays many roles - from serving as a sweet treat to acting as a visual highlight at your wedding venue. The cake cutting moment is one of the most anticipated photo opportunities for your guests, usually occurring right after the speeches. Afterward, the cake is sliced and served, becoming a memorable part of your celebration.

When it comes to selecting your wedding cake, the options are endless. Whether you're imagining a traditional tiered cake, a rustic naked wedding cake, or a more modern twist like wedding cupcakes, you'll find something that suits your style and budget. But with so many choices, how do you determine the wedding cake price and ensure you're getting the best value? Here, we'll walk you through some of the most popular options and share insights on average wedding cake prices to help you decide.

Traditional Wedding Cakes

For many couples, the 3 tier wedding cake price is a major consideration, especially if you're dreaming of a classic multi-tiered design. Traditional wedding cakes typically feature smooth white fondant, often adorned with fresh flowers or intricate decorations like sugar roses. The 3 tier wedding cake price will vary based on size, design, and the complexity of the decoration, but this timeless design remains a popular choice for many.

Chocolate Wedding Cakes

If you and your guests love chocolate, a chocolate wedding cake could be the perfect choice. Whether it's a dark chocolate ganache finish or a rich Belgian white chocolate coating, this option will certainly satisfy sweet tooths. The wedding cake prices for chocolate cakes can fluctuate, depending on the type of chocolate and decorative elements like flowers or intricate sugar work.

Naked Wedding Cakes and Semi-Naked Wedding Cakes

A trendy option for rustic or country-style weddings is the naked wedding cake. These cakes feature exposed layers of cake with buttercream filling, offering a rustic yet elegant look. The average price of a wedding cake like this typically depends on the size of the cake and the quality of ingredients. A semi naked wedding cake, with a light coat of buttercream, gives a cleaner, more polished look while still maintaining that rustic charm. Both options are usually decorated with fresh flowers or fruit and are perfect for an outdoorsy, relaxed vibe.

Wedding Cupcakes and Individual Cakes

Wedding cupcakes are a growing trend, with many couples opting for these individually designed treats instead of a traditional cake. Not only are they cute, but they also offer an easy way for guests to take home a sweet keepsake. Wedding cupcakes with buttercream swirls or wedding cake toppers can be designed to match your wedding theme. The price of cupcakes will vary based on design, flavor, and customization, but they generally offer a more affordable alternative to large, multi-tier cakes.

Cheese Wedding Cakes

For couples who prefer savory over sweet, a cheese wedding cake offers a delicious and alternative option. Consisting of stacked tiers of cheese, this style works wonderfully for rustic venues and more informal celebrations. A cheese wedding cake can be made from your favorite cheeses, and served with crackers and chutneys, making it a fun and different choice for evening guests. The price of a wedding cake made of cheese is typically lower than a traditional cake, depending on the cheese selection.

Wedding Cake Tasting Box and Wedding Cake Flavors

One way to find the perfect wedding cake is through a wedding cake tasting box, which allows you to sample different wedding cake flavors before making your decision. From vanilla and chocolate to more exotic flavors like lemon or salted caramel, tasting boxes are a great way to ensure your cake tastes as amazing as it looks.

Wedding Cake Stands and Wedding Cake Holders

To enhance your wedding cake's presentation, you might want to consider investing in a unique wedding cake stand or wedding cake holder. While many venues provide basic stands, you can elevate the look with a more elegant option like a spiral stand or even a wedding cake tree. This small addition can really make your cake pop as a centerpiece.

Wedding Cake Toppers: Adding That Special Touch

Don't forget about wedding cake toppers! Whether you opt for a traditional bride and groom figure, a personalized monogram, or a more whimsical topper like a floral arrangement, these little additions can really make your wedding cake one of a kind. The wedding cake topper is the cherry on top of your wedding cake's design.

Affordable Options: Cheap Wedding Cakes

For couples on a budget, there are still plenty of ways to have a beautiful wedding cake without breaking the bank. Cheap wedding cakes can still offer fantastic designs, and many cake artists offer basic versions of popular styles like two tier wedding cakes or simple floral wedding cakes at a lower cost. With a little creativity and a good budget, you can enjoy the beauty of a wedding cake without the hefty price tag.

By including a range of cake options and keeping an eye on the various wedding cake prices, you can select the perfect cake for your special day that matches both your style and your budget. Whether you're looking for a floral wedding cake, a trendy naked wedding cake, or a cheese wedding cake, there's an option to suit every couple.

FAQs About Wedding Cakes

Most couples tend to set aside 2-3% of their total wedding budget for the cake. In the UK, wedding cake prices typically range between £280 and £800. The average "typical" price offered by cake designers on Guides for Brides is £470. Factors such as the size of the cake, decorations, and flavours all contribute to the overall cost, which can vary depending on the supplier and the style of cake you've chosen. More ornate designs or cakes requiring more ingredients generally lead to higher wedding cake prices. Ultimately, the price will depend on your specific wedding needs, including the number of guests you're serving, your budget, and the design you envision for your cake.

We recommend ordering your wedding cake at least six months before your wedding or even sooner to ensure that the supplier has availability. As with all suppliers, the very best cake designers will get booked up well in advance, especially for weddings on peak dates.

Choosing whether or not to have a wedding cake is totally up to each couple's preference. Some see it as a key wedding tradition, while others may have superstitions around it. It's said that eating the crumbs of a wedding cake can bring good luck to the newlyweds, as the cake symbolises happiness and a good future life. Nowadays, there are many alternatives to traditional wedding cakes, such as a cake made entirely of cheese - a popular choice for those who prefer savoury over sweet. Other sweet options include serving individual slices of fudge, chocolate truffles, croquembouche, brownies, or cupcakes. This way, guests can still indulge in their sweet tooth, even if you as the couple aren't the biggest fans of cake.

Traditionally, the bride's family would pay for the entire wedding, including the wedding cake. However, these days couples don't follow this precedent as much and are generally paying for the majority of the wedding costs themselves with family chipping in for certain elements. The wedding cake is a great example of a wedding element that a family member could pay for or contribute towards as a wedding gift. Alternatively, you can pay for this element yourselves as the couple.
