    Why not just have a cake that’s 20 servings? That seems like a huge waste of money for pretty styrofoam.

    Not really because the whole point of it is for the photos. Plus when everything is done everyone can lick the frosting off the styrofoam LOL jk.

    I’m sure you can do that, you can do anything for the right amount of money. But I think having a three tier cake will look out of place with such a small wedding. I would save the money and put it towards something that’s going to make your day better, or just save it. Your pictures will look great no matter how many tiers the cake has.

    Hey!

    This is totally something that you can do if you want the look of a large cake, but if it means going through a lot of effort, it’s certainly not necessary. There are some really beautiful small cake ideas that would make the same impact. I’ve added some photos from Pinterest to show you what I mean.

    Fake cakes can be costly. You might as well just go for the real thing

    Just have a cute small cake. Pinterest is full of pics of small tiered cakes. A fake cake is expensive.
