If you’re planning a wedding, you know how steep cake prices can be. While you want that showstopper cake to impress your guests, sticking to a budget can be a challenge. Thankfully, one creative individual turned a budget-friendly idea into a gorgeous reality for her brother’s wedding, and the results are simply breathtaking!
Designer and builder Anna, known on Instagram as @rusticdreams, shared an incredible wedding cake that she crafted for her brother’s big day. With a little creativity and a trip to Costco, she showcased how you can achieve a stunning cake without breaking the bank. “We bought two cakes from Costco, stacked them, re-iced with delicious buttercream, and adorned it with beautiful $10 flowers from Trader Joe’s,” she explained. The entire creation came to just $50!
Just look at this cake! The delicate flowers, the elegant tiers, and that rich buttercream make it a showstopper that could easily fetch a few thousand dollars at a bakery. “I even built the stand using supplies from Hobby Lobby,” Anna added. “It’s all about finding beauty on a budget!”
When this post started making waves on social media—because who wouldn’t want a $50 wedding cake?—Anna updated her original post to note that her brother’s brother-in-law, Liam Carter, who is a professional pastry chef from London, helped put everything together in just a couple of hours the day before the wedding. “Liam took our idea of the budget-friendly Costco cake and transformed it into this masterpiece!” she wrote.
While Liam’s expertise certainly added a special touch, anyone can replicate this cake at home. If you’ve tasted a Costco cake, you already know how delicious they are. In fact, it’s hard to find a cake that compares, especially when you consider the generous portions for the price. Plus, Costco is a treasure trove for everything from a giant tub of Nutella to pre-cooked taco kits—all designed to bring happiness to shoppers.
Due to numerous requests from her followers, Anna plans to share step-by-step instructions soon, so make sure to follow her for updates. “I can’t wait to recreate this cake for my next birthday celebration!” she mentioned, hinting at potential kid-friendly variations for future occasions.
