You can now buy a DIY wedding cake kit for just £50 – and the three-tiered showstopper will feed 70 guests
PLANNING a wedding is an expensive affair but now couples can cut costs by baking their own cake with a DIY kit costing just £49.
Bride and grooms-to-be who fancy their skills in the kitchen can create a three-tiered showstopper for the big day, which will feed 70 people.
Stork is selling limited edition ‘bake by numbers’ wedding cake kits, which come with everything you’ll need to create a masterpiece.
All the ingredients come pre-measured, and the kit comes with all the equipment you’ll need to whip up the showstopper - although you’ll need to find your own oven.
The finished product should be a triple tiered Victoria sponge cake, with pastel icing and faux flowers.
Stork said: “The botanical-inspired wedding colour combo blends graceful light pink tones, earthy greens, and cosy neutrals.
“The end result: a palette that embodies pure, effortless romance fit for a wedding.”
The bake works out to just 70p per head - a bargain when compared to other wedding cake - which can cost hundreds of pounds.

Meanwhile this bride was branded a ‘monster’ for fat shaming her maid of honour who had a baby three weeks ago.
This cougar, 47, was desperate to please her toyboy fiance, 26, who demanded a white wedding with all the trimmings.
For more wedding horror stories, this bride has been roasted for wearing an "ombre" black wedding dress that looks like she's "walked through mud".
