A $12.00 Wedding Cake?

The except below is from an article written about a budget bride and her husband who held a wedding valued at $20,000 but the actual money this couple spent was only $6,000.

I just had to share this cake idea since the cost to them was only $12.00.

Who knew you could rent a cake?

"I was able to find a vendor who literally makes a Styrofoam replica of a cake decorated with fondant and regular icing," says Tavon. "I actually sent her some ribbon and lace and she put it on herself."

"There's a little slot in the back," she explained. "So we were able to have pictures of us cutting into 'our cake.' "

The staff then whisked the fake cake out of sight and served the guests $40 worth of sheet cake from the supermarket.

Cost? $12, compared with $600 for an actual wedding cake.

But what about saving the top layer for their first anniversary? The bride just laughs it off.

"I would have eaten that cake a long time ago."
