A small detail: Save money when ordering your cake

Order a small cake that is perfectly decorated but can only feed a handful of your guests plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor that you can use to feed your guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant, but less expensive effect. If you'll have a dessert table or candy buffet in addition to the cake, consider ordering a cake to feed half your guests.
