6 Easy DIY Wedding Cake Ideas

More and more elements of the wedding day are becoming tangibly DIY, and that includes cakes! As long as you aren’t getting married at a venue that requires you to get your cake from a list of approved professionals (some resorts require this), you can have fun creating your own – and save money in the process. Our friends over at Wayfair have shared these six ideas with us and most of them ring in at less than $1 per guest! These ideas transform simple sheet cake or cupcakes into unique, whimsical creations that are perfect for a relaxed outdoor wedding with plenty of DIY charm!
