For those who choose to have someone else make their wedding cake, it’s not unusual for quotes to venture well into the thousands.

So when Victorian mum (and amateur baker) Silvina Werner was asked by a friend to make her wedding cake, she wanted to do it as cheaply as possible.

And she managed to pull it off for just $57.

Using 11 cakes from Woolworths and a tub of Betty Crocker icing, plus flowers to decorate, Silvina created her friend’s dream wedding cake.

Speaking toMamamia, Silvina outlined exactly how she made the cake, a design that she based off a photo the bride sent her.

Silvina explained that while she used to bake her own cakes, the Woolies cakes quicken the process.

"I'm not a professional cake decorator, I'm still learning the trade and have picked up a lot of tips from the Woolies/Coles mud cakes hacks Facebook group," she toldMamamia.

"I made the cake for a friend's wedding, she has seen the cakes I make for my girls and had the confidence in me to ask me to do her wedding cake," she added.

She toldMamamiathat the cake was a hit with the guests, but that the bride was especially happy.

"I believe all the guests really liked the cake, but the most important thing was that my friend loved it as her opinion is of the most importance," she said, adding that she started taking cake making seriously after her daughters were born.

"I have been baking cakes just for special occasions for quite a while but only really became more interested to learn when I had my daughters and I wanted to make their birthday cakes. Over the last couple of years I have become increasingly interested in improving my cakes and techniques. I have been using Google and YouTube to learn how to do things better and in a more time efficient way," she said.

While Silvina enjoyed baking the wedding cake, she toldMamamiathat for now she's happy making exciting cakes for her daughters.
