Wedding tip # 35 is making your own cake on a budget using coupons. Think of how many cakes you eat during your wedding process- from your engagement cake, bridal shower cake, rehearsal dinner cake, etc.
Now what if you could make these smaller cakes yourself. I never thought of doing this until recently when a good friend of mine asked if I would help bake a cake for her bridal shower.
So I ended up buying good old Betty (Betty Crocker Cake Mix). Of course I looked for when it went on sale as well as paired it with coupons. There are some great new Betty Crocker coupons out here. The best is $0.75 off when you buy any flavor/variety Betty Crocker SuperMoist Cake Mix. You can find these mixes for about a $1 at Walmart.
Ok, so I am not saying to make your own wedding cake, but for all the smaller events leading up to your big day this is a great way to save some money and bond in the kitchen.

I definitely wouldn't recommend making your own wedding cake, but for the smaller events it sounds like fun. You can get all kinds of fondant and cake supplies at Michaels. I really want to take a cake decorating class.
