What Is A Sheet Wedding Cake?
This is a one-tiered rectangular cake, which may not be the traditional wedding cake design, but wedding sheet cake can be just as delicious as any elaborate pastry. It is far more affordable for many couple’s budgets than large tiered designs. A sheet cake can be just as lovely as any tiered cake and couples have many options to personalize a sheet cake to match their celebration.

What Are Sheet Wedding Cake Advantages?
Cost: Typical wedding cake prices range from $2 to $10 or more per slice of cake depending on the shape, flavors, and cake design. This can add up quickly when a couple has a guest list of hundreds to plan dessert for. Sheet cakes, on the other hand, can cost just $1 to $3 per slice and you can often purchase them from a grocery store.
Speed: A designer bakery may require wedding cake reservations months in advance, but they can usually create lovely and delicious sheet cakes much more quickly. This is the perfect solution for couples planning a surprise wedding or who don’t have months to plan their nuptials.
Waste: Because wedding cakes are often elaborately arranged, much of the cake may be wasted as it is cut because it falls apart or is otherwise unsuitable to be served. Sheet cakes are much sturdier and less of the dessert will be wasted as it is served.
Safety: Wedding cake disasters are not unheard of, and a sheet cake is a much safer option for a wedding with lots of children, unpredictable weather, or where the cake may be subject to stresses in transportation.
Symmetry: Because a sheet cake is rectangular, it is much easier to cut into equal pieces to serve.

How To Serve A Sheet Wedding Cake?

The couple may choose to have a smaller single tier cake on display that resembles the design on top of the sheet cake slices.
