The price difference is reduced to the amount of work put Baker in the three basic areas to make a wedding cake design, icing, and flowers. Here are some ways you can save on the wedding cake and its still tasty, elegant and above all you want.Design - Keep it Simple
A fancy design or custom design of the bakery can add $ 200 to $ 300 and cost, and you have to spend time that comes with it and make it work. To save money on the design simply choose one that has done previously and to slightly modify the color and style of your wedding. Save big by the elimination of the imagination or brush embroidery embellishment that can add hundreds of dollars to the cost.
Icing - fondant or buttercream
Fancy cakes wedding are typically covered in rolled fondant (a type of clotted cream sugarpaste as molding clay children), which is expensive, difficult to spread to make it look nice and cost more ads the final product. In addition to the colored sugar paste requires more labor and may increase up to 20% more than the cost of the cake and the color should be kneaded into the fondant to create a uniform color.
You can save up to two dollars per segment using an alternative - butter cream. Buttercream is much easier to make, distribute and has a wide range of colors, flavors and consistency from very light cream. You can also make low blood sugar and if done professionally will look so nice and really melt in your mouth.
Sugar Flowers - Realistic, carved or fresh

Fabric flowers sculpted fondant is much faster and less expensive. However sculpted flowers will not be so complicated. However, a simple as a Dogwood flower is about half the price of peonies. You can also save a bundle and add some real class and color to the cake using fresh flowers instead of all sugar.
