The wedding cake. According to the Bridal Association of America, the average cost of the cake is $543. For the very simplest of cakes, you can expect to pay at least $1.50 - $2.00 per slice (times your number of guests), and the price just goes up from there (upwards of $10 a slice!) based on the elaborateness of the design, flavors, fillings, etc.
Ouch.
But if you dare, you can DIY your wedding cake.
No, really!
With a few simple cake-decorating techniques, a little inspiration, and endless accessory possibilities, you might be surprised at what you can create! ♥
