THE WEDDING CAKE

A wedding cake can add hundreds of dollars to your wedding budget. Bakeries charge as much as $10 per slice (or more) for a multi-tiered and decorated wedding cake; this adds up quickly for a fancy edible centerpiece. Here are some ideas to reduce your cake budget:
  • Opt for a smaller, beautifully decorated wedding cake for the bride and groom to share (and/or plaster on each other’s face), and then order a single layer sheet cake to serve to guests. Sheet cakes usually range from $1 - $2 per slice. The difference could be hundreds of dollars!
  • Talk to friends, neighbor, coworkers, etc. to find local individuals who bake wedding cakes from home. You will save money and help someone else earn a few extra bucks too.
  • Purchase your own cake toppers, ribbons, flowers, and other cake decorations from local craft stores like Joann’s (www.joann.com) or Michael’s (www.michaels.com) to add to a simple wedding cake from Costco or Albertson’s.
  • Consider making and/or decorating your own cake. Recruit family and friends and make a day of it! Here are some wedding cake recipes and decorating ideas:

    "Adam was fun, professional and just a perfect pick for my daughter's
    wedding. My wife and daughter came home from the wedding fair and were certain they had found the right company in Sound Wave Music, after meeting Adam and Kristin, they were right! The entire evening went smoothly, we loved the music and the timely announcements kept everything on schedule. Adam kept the dance floor full and we literally had guests from 2 to 95 on the floor at different times, all enjoying themselves.
    Sound Wave really is a "one call" solution for professional music and
    a fun evening."    - Mark
    "Thank you very much for being so flexible.  Our dance went well because Chad, Dannin, & Tyrell did such a great job" - Janet

    "Sound Wave Music is the BEST.‎ Kristin, Adam, and the team at Sound Wave did our wedding in March and we highly recommend you book them for your next event. They really cared about giving us and our guests an amazing time and even let our guests request songs weeks before they came to the wedding. They were perfect with keeping us on time and making sure that everything went smoothly and that we all had a great time!"
