Is buying a wedding cake at Walmart cheap?

Question

I was looking at some but I dont know how people will react. How would youreact?

Answer 1

A friend of mine got a wedding cake from wal mart for her reception ( I only know because I helped assemble it) and it was better than a lot of expensive cakes I have had at other weddings. We just took her wedding flowers (roses) and cut the stems short, and pressed them in just far enough to make them stay. No one knew and there was no cake left... only the top layer that the bride and groom keep. Honestly, a lot of people won't even try the wedding cake... they are to busy eating everything else!
Don't worry about what they think... just keep it to yourself and who ever helps assemble it (your mom would be perfect!).

Answer 2

Wedding Cake At Walmart

Answer 3

Depends on your other options. In my small town, you have Wal Mart or the bakery at the convention center, which charged $700 for my wedding cake. So yeah, Wal Mart would have been way cheaper. That said, it taste like just a plain old Wal Mart sheet cake. It'd be cheaper just to buy a couple large sheet cakes at Wal Mart instead of spending the $100 on the "wedding cake" which is just a stacked version of their average cake. Obviously I've had it before, I was far from impressed. It really wasn't worth the price my friend paid for it, like I said sheet cake would have been even cheaper & tasted the same. Very few people ate the cake, most left half on their plates.

I really just didn't want to have an average cake for my wedding, so I was prepared to spend the larger amount. Everyone adored my cake & months after the wedding, people still talk about how great it was.

Answer 5

Are you going to have a big sign saying "Look, my cake was from Walmart"? Then people may have an opinion on wether your cake is cheap or not. Otherwise, the guests are probably NOT going to notice your cake is from Walmart. I have other friends who have gotten their cakes done at supermarkets, and they turned out beautifully. Just make sure you dress up the cake table, and choose a nice, simple but elegant design for the cake decoration.

Answer 6

How will they know its from Walmart? They won't be able to tell. If you want it to look more elegant then have them cut back on all the trim and excess icing. Thats a dead give-away that its a grocery store cake. Keep the design as simplistic as possible and add live flowers. Its not cheap, its resourceful.

Answer 7

Weddings cost allot, as it is if you can cust back somewhere go for it! And it isnt about where you get the cake but the taste of the cake so if you are satisfied with it. No one needs to know where it came from. But personally I wouldn't care if it tasted good:) Good Luck

Answer 8

im actually thinking of this as an option. But just so you know beforehand, they don't charge according to difficulty. They charge by servings. I've never had a bad cake from wal-mart. they have always been very moist and delicious.

Answer 9

i had a gorgeous wedding cake from my local grocery store. it cost 280$, and it was delicious. i recieved so many compliments about it. everyone wanted to know who my baker was. when i told them no one could believe it.
go ahead & get the cake that u can afford, its ur wedding, no one else's and don't be afraid to tell them, if they ask, that it came from walmart.

Answer 10

Well, unless you tell everyone where you got it, or it has a 'rollback' sign hanging on it, no one will know where it came from anyway.

Get the cake you want, just be sure that it's gonna taste good (if you're gonna serve it at the reception) and looks the way you want.
