It takes approximately 30 seconds of wedding planning to realise that the “best day of your life” comes with a hefty price tag.
Everything from flowers to venues to makeup seems to be 10 times the cost of what you’d pay for any other event the minute the word ‘wedding’ is mentioned.
A common wedding element that people are begrudged to pay the higher price for? The cake.
But while it might seem unfair to pay more for what appears to be just a larger, whiter birthday cake, there's actually a good reason why suppliers will typically quote you a higher figure.

Most people have never little understanding of the work (hours and hours) cakes can take. Making money from cakes is a labour of love, although prices are high if you worked out the hourly rate of a cake decorator they really wouldn't earn much at all.
