Renting a cake can save you money in many circumstances. However, there are trade-offs to renting a cake verses having a conventional wedding cake made for you. The following lists why you may find it beneficial:

• Cost Affective

            additional savings may include:  
            -no cake cutting charge by venue/caterer          
            -no floral charge for wedding cake if using our sugar paste flowers
            -optional delivery

• You love the look of fondant but not the taste, texture or price.

• You're not a fan of cake and prefer to serve a dessert buffet but still desire a wedding cake for display purposes and the ceremonial cake cutting.

• Your caterer’s price includes dessert.

• You're having a smaller reception but prefer a grand centerpiece.

• You're having a larger reception and are dealing with budget constraints.

• You're having an outdoor event; rental cakes are the perfect solution because they are unaffected by the weather as long as they are sheltered from direct moisture.

• You prefer to show off your beautiful centerpiece longer for guests to ooh and aah over.

• You don’t mind your cake design is not 100% original; in some cases a custom design will be created just for you.
