Wedding cakes are by no means cheap these days. Even if you go with wedding cupcakes, the cost could add up quickly. Here are some helpful ideas to trim costs when it comes to your wedding cake. 
My wedding cake by: Carlos Bakery, Hoboken, NJ
The best part? No one will ever know the difference except you and your sweetheart!
Order a smaller version of the cake you love
Don’t sacrifice with a less interesting cake. You can go with the one you love, by ordering a smaller version. Use this cake during the cutting ceremony, then have decorated sheet cakes with same or different fillings for your guests.
Fake the Cake
If the thought of having a smaller cake doesn’t appeal to you, consider getting fake bottom tier(s) decorated in the same frosting and pattern as the rest of the cake, while serving guests the decorated sheet cakes. And if you're having an outdoor/beach reception in not so cool days, this may be something to consider as well.

Double Duty
Serve your wedding cake as dessert. If you wish to go with a larger cake, consider getting a gourmet cake to double as dessert and go without any other pastries.
Happy Planning!
